One stud on each strut.Very similar to this one, except won't have the threaded adjustment. Will have the same size tube on the end as my 700/900 ones with slots in which allows for discrepancies.
Also will be bent like the photos above to allow for clearance for n/a cars. A straight bar like this one wouldn't clear the n/a manifold. Also the tubes will be cut at a angle to follow the sweep of the bend. Basically one of my 700/900 tubular braces but to just the front stud ( have a look at my thread)

I also think in conjunction with either gt braces (which is what is in this picture) or the ones I come up with, which I'll post a picture I found of basically how I'll be doing them. I reckon They will work better than a bar that purely went across and was connected to 2 or 3 studs which the 3rd is unnecessary. The only better one I think would be a all in one fixed brace that used 2 studs and also triangulated to the bulkhead as one piece, like the kalpenke one.
