Where to get a frame brace kit ?

22 Feb 2011 14:35

Hi everybody,

I reach the point where i am removing the motor for upgrades. Since the motor will be out, i thought i should reinforce the frame with a brace kit. I called Kosman specialties and the guy told me that he has improved the kit and will make another run that should be ready in a month ???? And the other very expensive option is the Japanese kit (PMC). Is there any other kit ?

Regards.

Called them. They only order the Japanese kit (PMC) which is almost 300 US.
