Front end

I have an interesting question. A friend of mine who is rebuilding a R75 BMW into an awesome steet bike showed me a neat trick. He put a spare lower triple tree fork brace (with stem and excess metal shaved off) on about halfway between the working lower triple tree bracket and the fender bracket/brace. I thought this was a neat idea to really make the front end tight and reduce flex. He swears that it works and I believe him. Anyone ever try this on their CB350 or is it just not needed if you have a good fender bracket/fork brace?

thanks for the response folks. I was just interested in varing views. The folk braces are no wheres near the sliders, but I thought of that as well.

Jeff. Will do. I will have my R100 street bike as a back up at the track/school day. It is an 84 so I think I could run Forumla I/USCRA with it...but to tell the truth...I like it as my commuter and street ride.
