Phil & Kelly,
I installed the solid mounts before the braces . The mounts were a good
improvement but when I added the frame braces there was a even greater
improvement in cornering stability and there was a great improvement in
control of the launch . It launches much straighter . Of course this is
on my bike & you may not get the same results .
