Also, there are a lot of folks that do not like the looks of the brace too.

I know of a company in New Zealand that is going to start manufacturing the mid and wide glide conversions that use 49mm fork tubes for pre 2006 dynas. Never fear, you will probably be able to put the fatter front ends, from aftermarket companies, on stock dynas before too long. He's already working on the designs.

I think the new forks look ugly.
