    Bracing, Does it Exist?

    04-22-2012 07:05 PM #1
    Since the Eos is a convertible, it will obviously suffer from rigidity issues.

    Does anyone have braces (Hardeharhar) for the Eos?

    Has anyone attempted to make a brace for an Eos?

    Do any of the Unibrace braces work with the Eos?

    I just got back from the HWY 129 Tail of the Dragon and I would love to take an Eos up there, but I would want some performance improvements to maximize the fun factor. I would be 100% fine with rendering the rear seat useless from a brace, or from removal.

    Thanks guys!

    fixed it for you since you have no need for the exploding headrest/roll-over protection normaly found in the rear seat.

    Removing the rear seat would not invalidate the rear headrests features during a rollover.
