Title: Thoughts on fork brace
Post by easymoney on 10/17/24 at 06:36:07

Do fork braces make a significant improvement for our bikes? I am concerned mostly about interstate highway stability.

Assuming you have the front fender on, I think the fender is adequate to stabilize the forks. I've ran the superbrace and have noticed essentially Zero discernable difference, and actually ended up selling it. some people swear by them but personally I think the braces are snake oil.

I had the TKAT on one bike and I have a SuperBrace on my current bike. I drank the snake oil. Whether is purely psychological or if it’s actually real, it seems to offer modest improvements. I notice it most when using the front brake on rougher roads. That said, I don’t think these bikes can really ride true above 65mph no matter what you do (the Cafe mod people will disagree with this comment, but they’ve put a lot of time and money into those mods). The bike likes to “float” with its stretched rake and light weight (chopper style).
