RE: Fork Brace suggestions
I mounted the SE version, good quality and easy install. Can't say that I've noticed much difference with it. However, I haven't ridden much since I put it on, either. Can't hurt...

Good deal on teh SE at $114..........
Waiting on a Kuryakyn to arrive...........I go to good a deal on it to pass it up.
Hear pros and cons ...some say they think it helps front end stability....fork flex etc.....the physics seem to make sense but proof will be in the ride.

I notice the improvement the most when riding two-up. Be sure to jack the front wheel up when you install the brace.

RE: Fork Brace suggestions
of all the designs I have seen out there, I think the Kuryakyn is the best looking. From a function perspective, I would guess they are pretty much all the same.
I don't know if mine made a difference or not. I had it installed off the dealer floor. I have ridden without it a few times, but just while doing a test run up the street and back.
Personally, whether it does anyting or not, I like the look. Specially with the wide front end, I think it breaks up that huge gap a bit and gives the front end a better style... but thats all personal preference stuff, and we are all different.
