All the mirror polished Group Buy SuperBraces were shipped out last week via UPS Ground from Southern CA and we shipped out all the hard black anodized (minus a couple late orders which will ship later this week) SuperBraces already.

Thanks for the support & Happy Holidays,

I was part of the group buy and I received my SB on December 19th and installed it Sunday. I may have received mine sooner than some of you as I live about 20 minutes from SB's HQ in Huntington Beach, though. I will say this: the craftsmanship is terrific and it fit my '04 Custom beautifully!

TRacer: now that you've installed the fork stabilizer, please let us know how it affects handling. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, though it kind of doesn't matter right now with 20" of snow on the ground.......

Also - was it difficult to install? Do you need to loosen the front wheel axle nuts? Thanks. Ron.

Ron,
The installation was quite easy and took me 10 minutes or so. I jacked up the front end of the bike with my floorjack, loosened the front axle nut (there is only one) to let the forks "relax", put on the brace which is a two-piece affair with four fasteners, then retightened the axle nut. The brace tightened up the front end considerably; I really notice the difference while driving on some of the older/rougher roads or the 91 Freeway in my area.
