I don't need one... It came with one....   Jefc73 Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 03:32 pm:        Ok no time today but tomorrow or Wednesday I will get the braces mounted with different front brackets on my red S2. Iam off the next three days from work. Will post pics. Looks like we are at 15 so far. Would be nice to have 20 so I can work on the cost some.   Damnut Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 03:38 pm:        I don't see it Mark, is it painted?   Roderick Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 03:47 pm:        Is the deal set ? How/when do we pay for this ? Roderick   Jefc73 Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 03:52 pm:        Not yet Roderick. Let me get these pics up and I will talk to the machinist on cost for 20 or more. Will let everyone know. Last time I did this paypal was used.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 06:53 pm:        after doing a little searching on badweb, I figured out they started making them part of the frame in 99   Damnut Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 09:12 pm:        Well if that's the case then I only need one. I'll have to check out both of my bikes to confirm.   Newmans3 Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 09:46 pm:        I'll be damned, he's right. I guess I don't need one after all.   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 - 05:53 pm:        Only bikes that need them are s1 and 97-98 s3.   Screamer Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 - 10:02 pm:        S2 models can also benefit from a brace.   Graeme1203 Posted on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 - 06:12 am:        'S2 models can also benefit from a brace.' as can the 97/98 M2s   Jefc73 Posted on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 - 11:42 am:        Here is the jefc73 brace on the S2. The front bracket that is shown in pics will be used for all S2 models. Both front brackets fit but this one was a little easier to put together.   Hootowl Posted on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 - 12:50 pm:        Yeah, forgot about the early m2. Sorry. The s2 front v brace is formed of straight tube sections and does not need to be braced. M2 s1 and s3 are formed of curved tubes.   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 - 01:04 pm:        Interesting. In 2014 when I bought one of yours I fought with it for over an hour trying to get it to fit. Maybe I just got the short of the stick on that brace.   Screamer Posted on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 - 10:54 pm:        The first few times I had my S2 on a dyno I was astonished by how much the front "v-bracket" part of the frame flexed. I was wondering how to eliminate the flexing when Tat Marcy began offering a really robust round tube style of brace which I installed several years ago.   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 - 11:13 pm:        The round tube brace was made by WesTek.   Ebutch Posted on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 - 11:46 pm:        Wes Tec   Ebutch Posted on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 - 11:52 pm:        Somebody's home made   Screamer Posted on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 08:07 am:        I didn't mean to imply that Tat was the manufacturer, West Tek made some really nice products. At the time, Tat was buying a few products of mine, so I usually would try to buy from him if possible.   Cecil1 Posted on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 09:05 am:        I would be in for 1. How do ya pay?   Dhdjr Posted on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 09:59 am:        I'd like to get 1 frame brace also please!   Jefc73 Posted on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 10:48 am:        Jefc73 - 2 (couple extra for stragglers) Damnut - 2 Blackm2 - 1 BrentX1 - 1 Oopezoo - 1 Johnod - 1 Pending fitting S2 NewmanS3 - 1 Roderick - 1 Ebutch -1 Red93stang -1 Charlies s1 -1 Brother in buells -1 Kmbuell -1 Cecil1 - 1 Dhdjr - 1 Close to the 20 braces. Should be able to keep them to $125/$130 range. Have to stop by and get hardware cost and then add the shipping. will do everything through paypal. Would like to have the funds sent as friends to keep the cost down. I will update the thread when done, send out tracking when shipped etc. Will let everyone know final cost and when and where to send money within the next few days.
