Can't wait for the pics, that should clear up the issue of whether or not it clears the ABS. Thats the one I want to get also. Maybee you could fill us in on vibration to.

I heard you may need to use a longer bolt on the engine side, and a few washers. There was a thread on another forum, with pics too I believe..

Lost Time has done a writeup and parts list for little misc items to make the Feed brace fit just right. He said it took him 4 trips to the hardware store to figure everything out. He would like $2.50 if anyone's interested.

Just got it installed and yea the ABS was in a way. I flip the bracket on the bulkhead side and move it little to the right (towards the head light) and it fits ok.

Thanks~! There is no rubbing at any place at all and its a tide fit right now... But to be honest, I really don't feel a whole lot difference expect its smoother to put it in 3rd gear and less engine movement. I heard people said that once you install the torque brace and it feels like new car and car runs faster etc.... to me thats not the case but oh well....It definately looks good tho.

Damian,
I don't think it can adjust the stiffness on the torque brace.
Air-rex,
Yea, very good point~!

It looks good
Does it actually compress, like a shock? Have you tried to push the rod in and see if it bounces back out?
