I didn't think fork braces were supposed to be supporting the triple trees?

Looks like the motor was touched by a few shops... Not sure what benefit a chunk of aluminum scabbed to the triple tree does though... I'm guessing he just didn't get the premise of how a fork brace works?

Seeing as how the seller is one of the oldest triple guys in the world, I am sure Fran knows what to do with a fork brace.
My guess is he bought that as it is from someone else and is just unloading it.
Fran Golden was in to triples before there was much of any any internet chatter or forums.
In fact, he used to send out service bulletins from Kawasaki years ago, on the triples.
He finally finished his collection of every triple made in fully restored condition.
Most of which are super nice.....

Goodness, I'm just upsetting everyone these days.
