I took a 4&1/2" grinder & worked the ridges from under the brace. It mounted at the absolute top edge of the lower tubes & had only minimal clearance. I also loosened one side of the fender & lowered it as far as the bolt holes would allow. Grinders at Harbor Freight are cheap. Recommend a "paddle" switch for convenience & safety. All ya have to do is open fingers to shut it off, no hunting a switch with a thumb.

If thats an issue, this would be a good time to address it, if you folks ride the late model designs. I doubt it matters, but IF it does, now would be the time to consider it, I would think.

Puzzling...

According to the Superbrace site:
- Reduces low and high speed wobbles.
- Improves stability in tight cornering.
- Improves tire life and reduces cupping.
- Decreases sensitivity to rough road surfaces and rain grooves.

There are other sites, such as this one, that explain it in other (sometimes better) ways. However, I can attest to the efficacy of a fork brace too.

cnosee - if you check the pics above the posting you made you'll see both braces used with fender installed.

I have superbrace on my savage - no mods necessary to bike. in case of newer s40 with little black fork guards these need cutting off with sharp utility knife or chiseled off carefully.

I can't speak for mods in case of other forkbrace.
