I have 1372s on two of my bikes. One of them is fitted with the struts to the dropout eyelets and the other one is attached to the lowrider braze-ons. The latter set-up feels significantly stiffer but it might also be due to the thicker forkblades and ahead stem on that bike.
Thanks for your input! I'll stick with the stock setup then for starters. Hopefully sometime next month the bike will be rocking a set of mudguards along with the basket.
Cheers! I probably won't be loading anything more than 10 kilos anyways, but I feel a front basket will come real handy.
Bike's heaps of fun and very comfy, just need to replace the saddle for something more sensible for this sitting angle.
