yeah, duo, you've got to stiffen it up it you're going to leave it on. Getting back to my earlier concern, you don't want an accessory on there that makes a great place to rest your feet but ends up screwing up your exhaust in a 'lame' tip-over. After connecting it to the frame using the reflector screw, try gently laying your bike down on it's side and see if those galvanized bars flex at all.
