Thers no way I would try building a brace when a proven one is available for so little $$$. The materials & time involved & the odds of makeshift equipment producing a good brace aree low. Id buy one, & Im a cheap sucker. I do everything I can do to save $$$. I build things, repair things & Ive learned thru the years there are things that just arent worth doing.

Do these braces actually help the handling much?
Based on my limited riding experience, I personally feel the front of the bike feels more stable/solid than it did prior to the installation of the TKAT fork brace. I suppose you could question whether this "improvement" is, in part, mental, due to the fact the fork brace is now on the bike. Based on riding the same stretch of crappy back road, I'm convinced the fork brace makes my S40 more stable. Your mileage may very.

I agree that it would be best to buy the TKat brace. This is a precision part and needs fo fit correctly. Let us know how it works out.

Yes. They really make a noticeable difference.

If you search TKat here you can find photos. It's a great brace, and I much like its precision-machined look. And, as others have noted, it works.

Don't jest so easily; commercial 3D printers are becoming more commonplace and are surprisingly affordable to contract out now. They can even print a variety of metals. And the good news is complexity of the part doesn't even matter, as it is printed dot by dot.
