Default Front Brace

I have 2007 FXD I just installed this fork brace . I checked out the H-D model did not like them , Very thin also did not like the look . I bought a aftermarket and it was a better design and better yet it was made in the USA wow . Then I took the bike for a test ride . Yes I do feel a differance in the bikes handling . Is a big differance no but , it feels better in the tighter turns . Did any try this front brace on there DYNA ?

I got the OEM Harley Screamin' Eagle front fork brace. I prefer the solid Chromed billet aluminum look and keeps my Screamin' Eagle theme - SE Heavy Breather, SE race mufflers, SE stage 1 recalibration and SE CVO low seat with HD premium low shocks. Fit great and was noticeable. I look at others and the SE was thicker and wider. Please post pics of yours and when I get a chance I will post the SE.

I would love to see both. I was looking at the Screamin' Eagle brace. It's WAY more expensive than the aftermarket ones but I think it looks better the ones I've seen.

Superbrace makes a good one, a popular one around here. It comes in black or polished aluminum.

As far as effectiveness, the brace did nothing for me. The Ricor intimidators, Ricor rear shocks and Sputhe chassis stabilizer made noticeable improvement, but the fork brace was a waste of cash, other than the style.

The previous owner of my '04 Wide Glide installed the H-D custom chrome-plated fork brace. I like it so it's still on my bike.
