Looks like time for the credit card to take a hit... any advice on best place to buy? Superbrace itself or is there a cheaper way?

Hi hungover
Standard stuff - Front 100/90-19 57H , Rear 150/80B16 77H. Good rubber - felt really secure first time I took 'em out before Christmas but the ice and snow seems to have knocked 7 bells out of the road surfacing since and while the rubber still feels grippy, the front feels like it's always being nudged sideways by the road ripples - that's why I'm considering a brace. I can afford either the brace or a pair of Hagon shox for now - which do you reckon will make the ride feel more planted?
Where are you in Blighty then?

If you're problem is the front tyre getting grief then the Hagon shocks probably wont help that much in that area. So go for the brace first I reckon.
I have progressive springs in my front and Road King shocks on the back and I'm quite happy in terms of that, no more bottoming out, I was quite surprised considering how skinny I am that it bottomed out so much!
I'm from London (well I live there) and the roads are ripped to shreds! You?

Preston, Lancashire - roads = crappy. Plus. in Spring we have the joy of muckspreading - so last Sunday I'm bombing up a hill, lovely clear dry road, sun right in my eyes so everything's in b&w, up to one of my favourite r h sweepers - and thought "road looks weird - SLOW DOWN" just in time to go into the bend and lots of little patches of skiddy pigpoo dropped by Farmer John going too fast round the same bend. Kept her up, but not good for the nerves!
Our van drivers can't fill up with diesel properly either
