I'm thinking of doing one for my bike. Does it have to be that low? Geometry?
Steve

you gotta get under the chain run swest.

i put them where i do to give plenty of chain clearance for future sprocket selection.

if you don't like it hanging down i also do what i refer to as a stealth underbrace.

here is one i just completed,





and here is a stealth overbrace..





i split 1" x .065 wall thickness 4130 chrome moly and then tig it on.

with it on the bottom it is barely noticeable and you about have to be looking for it.

so overlaying the split tube on the round tube creates a cross section that resembles an 8 .

Wow..that's. cool.
Thx for the reply on the weight of arm

How about a side shot of the over brace Leon ? its kind of hard to visualise from the top

here ya go puffin.
this was before the ends were capped back by the shock mounts.

How much for a drum style one?
