And you don't have one. Might this be an issue with grooves and perhaps someone not used to them on a m/c?

The interstate has those rain grooves and i def noticed them come in play when riding. I really like the idea of the Fork Brace, any recomendations on where get one? 2002 LS650P With 8300 mi.

TKAT makes braces & they work great & look good on a Savage. Theres a Superbrace available that has tabs to mount for fork protectors. Its a sleeker design & costs more $$.

I don't notice the rain grooves in Hollywood on the I-5, too busy dealing with all the road repairs, cracks, pot holes, meandering cell phone artists to worry about some drunken rain grooves.

Ok Finally had a chance to check the front out and all seems well...
Also i found a nice long section of road just paved-- oh so smooth, and did not have any wobbles..

needless to say i will be getting a TKAT brace in the mail here soon Cheesy

Cant wait till it comes in, im anxious to see how it affects the ride.

To everyone, thanks for the tips and advice. Wink
