Default Fat Bob fork brace

Would like to find a fork brace for the Fat Bob that doesn't look like a bone off the Flintstones; I see Zodiac has a nice RSD style but not for FXDF...anyone see anything else out there yet?

IMHO, a waste of money. Especially if your bike isn't setup for racing.

your humble opinion is fine with me .. all i can say is that after i installed a superbrace on my 2015 FXDL .. i have a whole new riding experience .. prior to install it was almost un-rideable in a strong cross wind .. my front end washed out more that once on the freeway and even more of a pucker event a couple of times when i would catch a cross wind in a sweeper .. now there is much more stability and even carving normal turns is soo much nicer

Default Proper Install is Key

My experience has been that these braces need to be installed properly or else you are doing more harm then good. The potential problem lies in the forks not being parallel and hanging up slightly when they compress or rebound. The instructions for installation is simple enough but you should check to make sure of complete unimpeded operation before you go carving canyon roads at high speed.

They are made to clear the fender, so they have to be good for the tire unless you have a bigger diameter wheel/tire than stock.
