Not necessary and won't fit, the torque arm is specifically for
_Evolution_ big twins. The Twin Cam motor in your '03 has an improved
transmission-to-motor mounting system that eliminates the problem
addressed by the Carlini brace.

Wasn't looking for the "cool effect". Was looking for a little advise
- whether needed or not. Apparently it's not only not needed, but
since it's not an Evo it can't be used.

Smart ass.

FlyerFan Jim asks about Torque Arms and fork braces...

First, applause for being concerned about engine durability mods
following performance mods, shows good thinking, that. But as you've
already been so kindly <cough cough> informed, it's not needed this
time.

Second, you asked about fork braces, and here I'm just going to be
lazy, no excuses. I'm pasting a reply I posted a while ago:

Couple of options here. You could go with the HD/KuryAykin brace, a
three piece light weight jobby, or the CCE/Chirpin' Seagull "race
brace," (same item, two different names/prices) a real solid two piece
item. The HD/KA one runs around $100, the CCE/SE runs around $180 or
so. On the HD/KA one: Pro- lighter weight, less unsprung weight (a
good thing, of course). Con: Three piece design is probably (IMHO) a
bit more flexible (a bad thing). On the CCE/SE one: Pro: Heavy duty
enough to straighten out the front of your 4X4, won't twist a bit.
Con: You guessed it, it's a heavy
bugger. Those are your options. There's also a company out there
called "Super Brace," but I don't know squat about them, other than
they'll carve it up real pretty for you (ball milled flames, etc.) and
they cost a fair bit.
