SuzukiSavage.com - Super Brace on it's way

pgolden Ex Member	Super Brace on it's way 02/25/06 at 07:26:01 I sold enough stuff on E-bay to get my Super Brace. I ordered it yesterday. $147.20 delivered from cyclesolutions. I know I could have gotten it cheaper, but I needed to use up a Paypal balance. I should have it mid week. I will install it and report on the improvment if any.

Sell stuff you don't want or need and buy stuff you want all with Paypal. Kind of like bartering. I looked at their website, but didn't find a listing for the Savage. Did you just ask for it? Alos is there a cheaper place to buy the superbrace?

Yeah that's were I got mine for my Fathers savage and my intruder....they were very easy to work with

Your really going to see an improvement with that brace on. My fathers savage was getting pretty shaky above 55mph and now I take it up to 75mph and it is rock solid.

Actually, they're polished stainless but they work pretty well and I think they look good too. You did good to order them at the same time. Otherwise, you pay the flat $10 shipping fee twice.

My bike drove perfectly before the brace and I can't tell any difference with it installled. I like the looks, but I see no difference in the handling. I feel like I have added a nice cosmetic chrome piece at a premium price.

On relatively smooth road, there is little or no difference. The difference is at speed with rain grooves and uneven surfaces.

Nope didn't get them yet. So far my father seems to be pretty happy with the way it is riding with the modifications and repairs that I have completed so far.

I'll give him a little more time with it and then see about making that change Wink

He is very happy with the brace, but keep in mind that his ride was a very rough when you got to 50mph or more and the brace smoothed it out completely for him (well up to 80mph, haven't taken it any further yet).

The brace, the carb rebuild with the K&N filter and the supertrapp pipe have made a lot of difference in performance and ride....that and the Metzler ME880 tires he has on it....the savage is running real good right now Grin

Grumble, grumble!

I-Bike says that the Superbrace is still on back-order (3 weeks so far) and won't be available for another 3 weeks. I give. Maybe I can use those funds for some other bling. I asked them to cancel my order. Too bad. Maybe there are still some on eBay.
Think I will take my oversize "Savage" bags to saddle maker and see if he can shrink them and add strap between the two bags. These bags are another of the frustrations in getting parts for this bike.
Lots of folk riding this past week, even in rainy weather. Most out here just going thru.

They say they still have back-ordered the brace, but not for 6 weeks. Seems there was a big call from Savage riders after the brace was touted here. Gee, did we know this site had so much influence? Isn't that something?
