Thanks for the info.

 

They work as they're designed to on wide glide style front ends.
For the skinny front ends I do not see any benefit.

 

Love my fork brace! Made a noticeable difference for me, and I have 49mm forks. Just tightened up things in the front a little. Made it a bit more stable in turns and highway speeds.

 

+1 Very happy. Like the looks too.

 

I just spent a week carving up some Colorado roads and boy do I wish I had a fork brace! IMHO if you do the "speed limit" as the orange signs suggest, no fork brace necessary. But, if your rule of thumb is 20+ over posted (spirited riding) a fork brace will work wonders. I have yet to purchase mine. My bike felt like it was on the edge of imploding! And yes, I do ride hard and fast.

 

i bought one and within a week took it off besides looking ugly to much chrome up front, diden= help a bit

 

Narrow Glide front ends (39-41 mm) are a little flimsy as the tubes actually twist under a load
especially without a front fender.So the brace (we called them tweek bars) was used to stop that.They do work to stabilize the tubes.

 

i have had my superbrace on for over a year now..i noticed a difference..had my bike for 6 years now..lots of riding,i have a 01 fxdl.39 mm tubes..it made a difference for me..there is alot of good riding here where i live..mousetail..hwy 104..dragons tail..cant speak for anyone but me..i feel it helped mine..plus it adds a lil more bling to the front..looks cool too..lol

 

I just got my SuperBrace last week, but I think it is helping. I can't say it is "needed", but I can't say my other mods were "needed" either.

 

I put a CCE fork brace on my 39mm narrowglide years ago and like how it improved the ride. The roads you ride on and style of riding probably have a lot to due as to whether you feel it is worth it.

When I convert to a 49mm mid glide one of these days, I'm not sure whether a fork brace will be as beneficial.
