Default Fork brace on a Rocker???

Guys:

I'm looking for a fork brace for my Rocker, but HD's excludes the Rocker form the model to whcih it fit. The brace will improve the overall ride, I would install in my bike for sure. Does anybody knows if there's any available on the market???

I can't swear to it, but I think the fork tube spacing may be the problem with the Rocker. It doesn't appear to be the same as the other Softails.
But it shouldn't be too hard to test out. Just measure the size and leg spacing on yours and visit your local dealer an see what another Softail looks like.

You can also try contacting Superbrace they might know or have better info on it.

Good Luck and ride safe.


PS, I think the fork tubes are the normal 41mm so its probably the spacing thats the problem.
An easy way to measure the spacing is to swipe a tape measure from the wife's sewing box and just wrap it around both legs.
The total distance should give you a good indication of the tube spacing.
It may also be that no one has actually tried to put a standard Softail brace on one yet.
So they don't know if what they have will fit or not.

Just for grins measure the tube spacing on a Fatbob.
I "think" they may use the same fork tubes (49mm) but I don't know what the spacing is on either of them.
