Fork Brace

Thank you for considering and commenting on this: I had the idea of purchasing a US$32.00 fork brace made of 6065 aluminum designed to fit a Honda CB300R. I though I might have a bit of fun trying to make it fit the EX300. The fork tubes are same distance apart, but the diameter of the lower leg of the Honda fork is 57mm, while the Kawasaki fork's lower leg diameter is 60mm or 2 3/8". I purchased a hole saw for $10 and I'm going to clamp the fork brace up to a drill press and give it a go enlarging the capacity of the brace to accept the Ninja's forks. I'll have to remove a bit of material from the bottom of each inner side as well to clear the fender, but it won't be seen where I loose the black anodization as that area will face downward. I value your thoughts and opinions and appreciate your time. :-)
