I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem without a fork brace but I'd rather have one than not. Just my opinion. AL

I normally ride with a tkat. Couple years ago, I flew out and was able to borrow toymaker's mrs bike. And that didn't have a brace. Didn't notice a difference. But I did get another bike last year and I thought I was going to fall over with out it. Turns out the stem bearings were gummed up and rather then being able to smoothly turn, it went in jumps.

Where a brace will make a big difference is on uneven roads, rain grooves and the such. Those kinda things don't exist at the dragon.

yes I have one , but can't tell it made a lot of difference.

The road (Hwy 129 - middle TN.) I live on has a down-hill slope with a long 60 degree curve in the bottom of it. Well at speeds above 60 or so the bike used to "Wobble" more than it does now with the brace. In all fairness about 65 on this curve is way-to-fast , the speed limit on the road is 45. The roads around here are nothing like the Dragon but a lot of bikes come to Lynchburg every perty weekend , any of ya'll get in the neighbor hood give me a holler and If I can , I'll show ya around.

As we ride out further and further on day trips anyway we find we cover the same 3-4 counties no matter where we actually stayed at.
