Me too. It prompted me to ask about SF. I always wondered why SF didn't do something about the W brace and this rear chassis brace.

GK Tech makes a W brace. Mines installed and fits fine

Thats a nice looking unit. A lot diferent than the Z1 unit thats coming out, but no price yet. The Z1 will be aluminum. Machine to accept the rear brace but I think you can use the Z1 rear brace with this GK tech unit.

It's pretty beefy. If I remember right, when I weighed it, it came in at 20 lbs.

Which exhaust are you running? They had a reviewer on their website mention that it rubbed his/her exhaust but it wasn't mentioned which.

I have an HKS Hi Power. The reviewer is Glenn Raymond. He's a friend that lives in Australia. I can't remember what exhaust he has but I can find out if you'd like

I can't understand. If one has an aftermarket exhaust, an the W brace clears it now, why wouldn't an aftermarket brace not clear it?

They would have to be substantially thicker, but that defeats the purpose of losing weight. The G tech doesn't appear any larger than OEM. The Z1 may be a bit thicker.

Is it a 3" exhaust?

I'm not sure either. I run a 2-1/2". I'm not sure what Glenn runs

Motordyne is 2.5 to the mid muffler, and 3 all the way back.

If you don't mind, I'd definitely appreciate it. I have the Fast Intentions 2.5" and not sure to go with theirs or wait and see for the Z1.

Glenn has a Blitz exhaust. I don't know anything about them but the resonators hit the brace

Oooh I like that. Very slim. It looks like it has better clearance than OEM as well.
