    When all else fails get a bigger hammer

      Is that brace needed? I have raised my take by lengthening the two bolts near the crotcal region and now the cross brace doesn't touch the tank. Can I remove the brace?
      I have embarked on the road of modding. Even if you BOLT ON new parts to a bike, there will be someone somewhere that has the same combination. With the Kat, you have a unique platform. Sure, some parts might be from other bikes, but no one will have the same combination. It will be truly yours and unique.

        The brace is to keep frame flex down. I would not recomend going without it.

          +1 also helps keep wires off the motor where they like to melt.

            Removing it has many advantages. It will:
            1) Make it easier to do future valve checks
            2) Saves about a pound of weight

            Uh, that's about it.
            Actually, you really should leave it in there. Also, make sure it is tight too. The one on my Katana 1100 was a little loose with a bit of play and I think it made it a bit less steady at high speeds.

              It may make it easier to do future valve checks, but so does taking it off right before the valve check.
