Question Fork Brace Question

I am looking for a fork brace for my 99 XLH. I have found the HD Screamin' Eagle Brace for approx 170, The Super Brace For about 150, or I believe a V-Twin one for about 80 bucks. Are the Hd one and the Super Brace that much better than the V-Twin? Which one is most recommended by you guys? or is there another one you prefer? Thanks for your input.

They are all just pieces of metal. The more expensive one (Superbrace) is aircraft quality billet aluminum, thus why it is more expensive, and will most likely look better longer.

They will all perform the same IMO.

Superbrace is a sponsor of HDF, always nice to deal with a sponsor when ever possible and if you can wait a bit they often have group buys at a lower price and free freight.
