JMC perhaps, maybe metmachex or someone else.

Looks like a std one that someone modified to me :)

Just right to stop you riding up curbs.

nahh the lines are completely different....or are you being your usual sarc self:D

could never understand why someone would want to put a brace on TBH, suppose if you put a brick in front of it, you could park it downhill!

To reduce flexing.

Much more of an issue with old GSXRs and stuff, I don't think the SV exhibits more flexing than is desired. Compared to a GS or something that had hinge in middle.

not on an SV. Its one of those oddities, like putting a steering damper on one when you don't need it too. Waste of money.

Not a Metmachex , it`s a JMC with Eccentric adjusters and Bottom Brace , Brace is not needed to be honest .

Yeah I mean who in right mind would bolt on some shiny aluminium crap that doesn't improve the handling eh?
