RE: Fork Brace for '07 Dyna
Thanks. I like the look too but it really makes a handling difference; especially riding two-up.
Installation note: The bolts in the kit were too short to secure the outer collar to the brace. The dealer and I went round and round on it and he patronizingly said he would install it for me, but would have to charge me for 1/2 hour labor. I tear dirt bikes down monthly. I know how to install a damn screw. I countered with an offer to pay for a full hour labor if he could install it using only the parts in the kit. I got my brace installed for free and they threw in a bike wash. Interestingly enough, the other kits had the same screws. So buyer beware. Check the fit when you buy your fork brace.

RE: Fork Brace for '07 Dyna
Thats interesting.
I also bought the SE 49 mm brace for my FXDWGI and I had the same problem!
The screws being way too short.
My parts guy just gave me the right ones.
I also noticed that the SE brace (along with all braces I assume) Should not be used on chrome lower fork legs.
I wonder if the brace is beating up the sliders???
It definitely makes a difference at higher freeway speeds though.
