    Thanks Axel...once I got the correct size it was so easy to install...hardest thing was prying up the dust seals from the fork tubes.

    Loud little suckah And the brace looks great!
    As good as it looks I havent even polished it yet...eventually i'll get around to it...LOL
    And yeah the Stebel is one fekkin loud horn @ 139 dB...and no fairing to obstruct the sound..you can hear it clearly for a good half mile...
    Also wanted to say that I notice that the bike is more easily flickable into a corner(s). Like its more on edge...I like how it responds to my inputs...as far as I'm concerned it was well worth the $150...

      I was slowly driving down a country road one time and there was a horse eating some grass in a pasture up by the road as I got closer I hit my horn (same Stebel). That horse literally craped himself as he ran away from the road! I felt a little bad, but I had to pull over cause I was laughing so hard!

          I did once. Came up to a 4 way stop and when it was my turn to go I could tell the guy to my right was going to take off, so I just slowly rolle# out into the intersection and when I was about 2 feet from his drivers window I layed in the horn. I think he probably crapped himself just like the horse did!

            Two things of relevence... One; I just placed an order for the TKAT brace. Two, I was at a gas station yesterday & about to pull from the pump and a car came around the corner not looking at me & was inches from hitting me. I saw how close & I couldn't move in time to give more space so I nailed the Stiebel as her drivers window was next to me (less than 2 feet from my clutch lever) & gave her a 4-5 second blast just to disturb her Karma. If looks could kill I'd be dead.

            I felt much better after that, much better...
