Frame bracing and rear swingarm reinforcement on 1978 KZ650B

I'll be doing the Race-Tec springs, emulators, and oil on my 77 KZ650. I had it done to my 17' Kawasaki Voyager. Best 450 bucks I ever spent on a bike. While my Voyager is still a whale, it rides SO much better. Tracks almost like a street bike.

I will be upgrading the stem/steering bearing as well. New tires this summer. Still need to come up with a plan for the rear shocks.

Bracing may not be needed, but when I installed the stock braced swingarm on my 650 C2, she felt much more stable at highway speeds over bumps.
