few pics of a stealthy low profile overbrace i did for a 900.

i bent a piece of 1" 4130 chromo and then split it lengthwise and tigged it on.









that should help keep that skinny rear tire where it's supposed to be :evil: .

So that's why my rear tire has been coming around to the side of me (lol).

thanks for the kind words sbc1320 and stazi.

stock swingarms are noodles.

everybody talks about how flimsy the frames are.

but,
if the swingarm cant keep the tire inline the strongest frame in the world isn't going to matter.

it wont draw attention until the bike is seen first then i a walk about it WILL draw attention from knowing kawasaki folks...friggin perfect Leon...man
