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?

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.
