Are these things presicion made or what? I mean does it have some special design to make it work, or is it as basic as it looks? Because hell I could make one of these at home with a friggen welder

Nice pics or the braces. I would also like to know how far down it hangs? Also, does the H brace really help (can you notice a difference with it installed)?

My friend has a similar brace from Cusco on his S2K, he said the front felt a bit more rigid, but nothing spectacular, said he could have done w/out it.

Where did you buy your Carbing 3 point from?

Why should it stay here? Give me some reasons...

I have heard from a few people that the bar does make a diffrence, however, since it is hollow, if you bottom out, it basicly collapse and no longer provides any addional stiffness.

Because it's much better than the usual "how do I keep water out of my engine with a cold air intake" question that shows up 4 times a day
