I am also of the opinion that fork braces are completely for looks. The stock fenders do pretty much no bracing.

I have to disagree with the cosmetic argument. I mounted a fork brace onto my Night Train. It eliminated all flexing in the forks and provided a noticeable difference when powering in tight turns. The fender does provide some support by very minimal.

I have the HD brace. It does make a difference in feel and handling.

I have one on my Blackbird. It made a world of difference. I am sure it would make even more of a difference on bikes that weigh much more. I wish I could put on on my Fatboy.

Huge difference on my Blackline, second only to getting a wider front wheel for stability.

I had a SuperBrace on my '05 Sportster. It significantly improved the handling.

The quality was great also.

Thank you - this is what I was looking for.

Comparing the tin fender to aircraft quality billet aluminum - was not my concern. Just wondered in the overall handling dept. if it was a noticable difference.
