Will A Fork Brake Make a Noticable Difference?
I am considering adding an SE Fork Brace to my '07 Dyna. I already have ordered Progressive 440 rear shocks and fork springs and am wondering whether the fork braces are worth the additional expense. Thanks!

Only experience I've had with fork braces besides on dirt bikes was a 91 FXR,and it made a world of difference. Made the bike tighter and handled much better.

If you put Progressive shocks in the rear I would highly recommend you change the springs in the forks to Prograssive as well.

They look cool. I'd think you'd have to do some hard railing to get any benefit from them though.

Thanks... I'm planning to. Suspension aside, do the fork braces make a noticeable difference in handling?

I don't think so........mine is on but, broke part of it due to over tighten of bolt, not mounted correctly and my bike handles the same as before it was broke

If you plan to run the bike hard then it would be a good move to get one. They will help prevent a front wobble or "tank slapper". Here is a site that can give you some more info. http://www.superbrace.com/ and they are a sponsor.
