Has anyone else with a Horst link bike taken a look while applying the
rear brake hard?
Someone somewhere has, certainly.
Can this fatigue the strut to the point where it
eventally breaks?
Yes. Not for most people, but certainly for you.
Should I shore that up with maybe an L- or U-profile
strapped around it?
Use steel channels, say C3x4.1, one on each side. Hold them in place
with hose clamps. Remember, weight doesn't matter.
