Got home from working on the boat a bit early today, so bolted on my new superbrace and did the good ol' raise-the-seat mod.

Then went for a spin. Much better seating position for sure, and once I got on the straightaway wound the bike up to 145 kilometers/hour and - yes Virginia - there is a Santa Claus - the bike is much more stable, no question.

As far as the deflectors are concerned, I ground off one corner a hair to match contour of the brace a wee bit better, and as far as I am concerned,  they look just fine.  Handling is certainly enhanced.

Same effect I got from my Tkat fork brace.  Either of these fork braces is a highly recommended mod for our bikes.

Tkat "special" (for fender clearance) fork brace $92 delivered.
http://www.tkat.com/forkbrace.html

Note that SuperBrace has two part numbers for different years of the S/40/Savage, and the parts are identical, according to SuperBrace.

I also found that the fork brace gave me a smoother ride.  Apparently there was some fork flex causing sticking of the sliding parts.

OIC. I do notice some squeeking in the front end. The "flexing" may be the cause. Thanks for the reply.
