The thread about West Tek-style tubular braces got archived, without any resolution. Still guys interested...

Mad_carol made about 9 of them but apparently no one wants to pay the decent price plus shipping from UK. Seriously, they went for over $400 on eBay and people were complaining about a $250 price...

PM her, she's got em (and listed on ebay under Buell S1 frame brace.

It's also an aesthetic thing - I just like the tube look more with the tube frame. The Banke-type ones that Mad Carol has listed are nicely made, but they are not my cup of tea.
Unfortunately, my plans don't include tearing down my bike(s) and welding on a chro-moly tube and repainting the (S1W and S2T) frame(s).
I'd be happy to follow up with the original mfgr's, but my casual googling didn't turn up a company contact...
Or, happy to follow up using spiderman's possible cad drawings for other fabricator, but I think Spidey was holding off pending more news from West Tek.
