bracing help

i would like to take my bike apart 1 more time.
i have found that i have a weave in the frame when i go around a bend very fast. I have a lot of work done to this bike , and i suspect that it could be the fact that i have less trail now.
It stands to reason that the new bikes get away with less trail due to there ridgide frames.
By adding more bracing, i may, or may not not help this. Just the same, i feel i want to take 1 last kick at this. If it still weaves, thats fine, it's not really a big deal. I will feel that i have done all that i can do though.
So what i need is the 2 braces that are shown in the Santuary PDF.
Located Here:
kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_docman&...w&gid=231&Itemid=108
look at the_frame PDF (15th from top)
Look at #4 in the PDF . I need the 2 frame rail piece below #4.
can anyone make me these?
does anyone have an old frame they can cut these rails out of and sell them to me??

its just at lean with speed.
i can feel it twitch when u move on the seat .Trail,?
i don't feel that it can ever be flex free at lean.
I think that this is just the way it is for 30 yr old frames.
they have made a lot of advancements over the years, mono shocks,and ridge-ad frames, have allowed for a lot less rake and trail. now i have reduced the rake and trail without the rest of the modern frame upgrades.so it stands to reason that i will experience weave.
i agree with u 100% that the frame should be true to start with.
I'm just to cheap to bother having it checked, since i feel it probably ok. i feel it rides good enough now.
I just want to do all the bracing i can, before i repaint the frame.
can u give me anymore incite on welding these on the frame? am i at much risk of warpage if done by a professional welder?
Did u consider these for your frame?
i think i have all the same bracing as u so far, i just need to add the 2 rails from the neck down to the front rails.

I have the frame brace kit and a set of AVS motor mounts and they made a HUGE difference.

Might want to think about picking up a Kosman frame brace kit and heavy duty motor mounts if they have them in stock. Here is the web site.
