Yeah, I did read that it's a bad idea to put on a big fat one without any additional bracing. This is my DD, I don't need something 22mm+. Thinking it's going to be a purple Beaks bar since everything says the ASR brace is compatible with the 22mm bars anyway. The Beaks is stiff enough to lend enough bracing for my purposes, and costs about $100 less to boot. Might get that little subframe reinforcing kit they make too. JHP has it for $75, that's pretty cheap insurance.
Ordered up a Tanabe front strut bar for it today.
