I can't feel any noticeable difference, I mainly did this for the looks but I believe it can't harm useasbility of the bike. I spoke to one guy who also braced his swingarm and he says he feels rear end less flexible in high speed corners. I didn't ride it hard after welding the brace but if I see any improvement I'll let you know :cheers:

Looks very SuperBike  :cheers:
I'd say with USD forks it may be a tad more rigid. I can't imagine the frame would be up to too much more stress especially if you do go 10 tenths  :devil:
