I finally changed out the factory brake fluid, thankfully it still looked good after 7 years
I also removed side stand and made a new engine mount to replace it

 THAT..... lead me to this.  Got DAMN !

When I bought my last one I told myself not to buy any more unless i learn to play it like a champ, I still have only the one...

Today I installed a nice fork brace 
(thanks to Hog Head !)



But I did not rode the bike yet to find if there is any difference

That looks outstanding! And it's probably hefty enough to do the job. It's a clever design. You need mass to resist force, but it looks clean and graphic, not just heavy.

So what's going on there? Have you made that new plate to mount the side stand at the front of the engine?
Is that because you're tired of the side stand frame mount decking in cornering?

[gizzo]

Oh I get it: you're doing away with the side stand altogether.....

Also more ground clearance.

My @Hog Head fork brace turned up in the mail today so I fitted it. Fits nice, looks good.

Gizzo, if you keep this up, I'll have to hire you to shoot my product shots. That's a nice looking piece of machined metal that gets to show off in a well lit image. You must have hit the glare filter.

Thanks Bill. I think I just got lucky... 
Didn't even think about it being a glamour shot tbh

Sorry about not giving enough information( major complaint from wife  )  about side stand, I didnt use it much because the bike leaned so far over, thought about adding a threaded section in the middle of leg to adjust it!
Took the easy way out and removed it and no I dont corner that hard
My old Moto Guzzi Lemans would fold up on it side stand if you just bumped it, been using center stand since!

Today I tested the CNC fork brace on the little B roads in the Countryside 



Maybe it's a placebo effect but the front end definitely feels more planted, more precise than before. I like it !

Thank you Hog Head

Darn you, Taurim! Now you're making me think about getting one of these things!
