Default Bagger Brace Question

I've had the Bagger Brace installed for a couple of weeks now and I can honestly say that it was well worth the money. I've definitely noticed the benefits that have been expounded on this forum i.e. straight line tracking, tighter feel, etc. But one thing I've noticed that I didn't expect is that the bike seems to have more power from take off. It just seems to pull harder from a stop or gunning it when cruising. Is it because less power is lost to the pulley because the swingarm is more solidly connected to the transmission? Maybe some of you techs out there could enlighten me.

I haven't noticed any increase whatsoever in acceleration after my bagger brace install. It handles and tracks better without a doubt. I may have to go with the tour track front fork triple tree and longer fork legs to tighten the front end more.
