All Ive seen is the difference between stock & Superbrace. Pretty big difference. I gotta admit, the decision on which I chose would be how I was setting the bike up. If it was a Bobber or any kind of rat look, Id go w/ the Tkat. Even IF the S/brace IS more rigid, ( the design w9ould lead me to think it could be), I like the look of the Tkat better in some aplications. I have to be;ieve the Tkat would be at least 90% of the S/brace in fuction. I doubt I could tell the difference. A slight tire pressure variation could account for some change in the "feel" in the front end, couldnt it?

aWas the evaluation/criticism based on hard cornering or easy riding or a combo?

The super may do that slightly better because of it's one piece design. As far as it's ratty ass look, one could polish it for the desired look. Or you could pay superbrace $60 to do it for you. Your call.

Anyone care to enlighten a newby?
