Default FXDXT fork brace

Can anyone recommend a brace for the FXDXT forks. Several on Ebay and Amazon. Most look like they clamp around the plastic fork boots.
A part number for the Screamin Eagle brace would be appreciated too.

As far as I know most of them have you remove the fork cap/ dust seal covers.

I had to remove the covers to install the Bare Knuckle performance brace on my bike. Found here- Fork Brace

Thanks for the info. The old Screamin Eagle braces clamped much like that but had provisions to reattach the boots

Two of the best ones I have personally seen are

1. Bare knuckle choppers
2. Superbrace

Most clamp right below the dust cap. There's a few out there that require you removing the dust cap. The SE one is good for the price IF you can find one. There's knock offs that are visually the same but usually the hardware is trash and some aren't machined well so fitment is off. If you're patient and willing to spend more, look for an original SE brake made by Telefix. Those were pretty good and rarely had issues with fitment.

The chroming on them was absolutely trash. They all flake and pit.

Telefix ones I never had issues with but the later ones all flaked and pitted too so I feel ya on that.
