Reply #46 - 06/28/07 at 05:45:02 I am on the list for the "second" run and received confirmation from Tkat that production is underway but going somewhat slowly. Glad to hear that the brace is making a positive improvement on performance.

Hi,
Been away for a while since I sold my 87, but I am back looking for another Savage. I am very glad to see that TKAT is still making the braces for the 650. I had one of his on my XS650 and when I bought the Savage I asked him to take a look see at our Savage group. Glad he did, after I find a Savage, I too will get another brace.

Thanks, good to be back

Ike

Just got the Tkat yesterday. Got done putting it on about 5 min. ago. Fit like a glove! It was said before but I think it's great that he would send the brace even before the check had cleared. There are not many ppl the would do that for folks he does not even know. There are some great folks at this forum, Willing to share knowledge and their hard work without expecting anything back. Thanks from a new member of the Savage family. Well it's not raining finally and I want to check out the brace. Ride safe.

Reply #53 - 07/29/07 at 17:51:32 got my brace and installed it and its amazingly different. feels very solid even in cruising at 35-40 mph. can wait to take it on the freeway. thinking of getting it chromed. did the 600 grit do the job? is there anyone here that had it chromed or anodized. finish is great but needs polishing.

The 600 grit wet/dry paper did a good job. It now matches the fork tubes in luster. Installed the brace. It took me significantly longer than the 1 min. and 5 min. times reported. Maybe it's my 76 years showing up. My approach is assemble the brace, keep bolts loose, gentle taps with a small rubber mallet to align, tighted finger tight, check all parts one more time and then gradually tighten the bolts. End result was fine. Bike much steadier and holds lines in corners much better.

For TKAT - from an old sailor - Well done sir, well done indeed!

Reply #58 - 08/02/07 at 11:12:45 Tkat status report: I just got around to emailing Tkat about one yesterday (8/1/07) and as I figured, all of this current run were spoken for. The good news: He says he'll tool up for another run next week! So... my extra wobbly 4" over forks on the 99 should stiffen up some pretty soon!
