anyone use a superbrace

Thinking of trying a superbrace for the front forks. Anyone use one and notice a difference? Wondering if its worth the money?

Had a fork brace on an earlier bike...didn't make a difference. Comments I've heard here from most folks confirm that. The fender, triple trees, and axle provide enough.

Yes, it does make a difference when going into and through the twistys. It helps make the front "tighter", helps keep the forks from flexing in different directions. I ran one on my '02 sportster and loved it. Made the front feel more planted.I do ride rather aggressively, if you ride like normal, you probibally won't feel any difference.

you'd have to be riding pretty aggressive to realize the fork flex on a bike without the brace...

I heard those superbraces work good on wideglide front end not narrow glide.

I run one but I agree with the concensus that they are more for show.
