what's the thickness compared to the stock brace?

GI_JO_NATHAN · March 02, 2008, 01:01:45 AM

Stock brace on top.

Nice Add-on..Was searching for one of those for a while...couldn't find one so I went ahead and bought a carbon fiber sheet off ebay and covered the stock one for better looks.

mines been great thanks chuck

I too can confirm this is a well made brace to very high tolerances.

The handling improvement is most noticeable on fast sweeping bends that throw up a nice surprise like a bump, undulation etc. The bike tracks much truer and holds its line without getting sloppy.

stock brace is 1/8 inch thick, the one I sell is 1/2 inch thick with new sst fasteners included

Do you have any of your side engine covers left?

chuck81 · March 03, 2008, 11:30:50 AM

Yes, I will check tonight and post what I have for all to look at.

i know the srinath used to sell items like that. and from what i hear, ( yours included) a very good addon for the gs

Any road racers running these? The EX500 guys up here at Loudon all purposely remove their braces, as they say having one increases chatter through the turns. The GSTwin Racer Mod page just says to keep an eye on the stocker as they like to rip apart in a crash.

I can't imagine removing your fork brace would be a good thing on a bike with conventional front forks.

Kurlon · March 12, 2008, 08:20:27 AM

If the brace isn't spoken for, I'll snag it. I'd be interested in a side cover as well if it's more crash resistant than stock.

facepants · March 14, 2008, 12:40:14 AM

I'm also interested. Let me know if you have any left.

Thanks

Kurlon · March 14, 2008, 03:50:34 AM

Wait, are you putting your GS back to stock l3uddha?

darb85 · March 16, 2008, 09:44:08 PM

Id be intrested in one of these if its availble.

let me know

Thanks
