I'm curious, I've been thinking of one for a while and a supermoto buddy of mine thought it was strange that we'd even need one for a street bike.

Right, because most supermotos have stiff USD forks that wouldn't be helped by a brace. I had a couple of sumos and never considered bracing them or even looked to see if anyone made a brace for them.

The DR is kind of marginal; it has pretty stout conventional right-side-up forks that benefit a little from a brace. I put a superbrace on them and didn't notice much difference.. plus it messed up my gaiter setup, so I sold the brace.

The savage forks seemed to flop around too much for my taste so I put on the good looking Tkat and kept it as long as I had the bike.

That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. - P.C. Hodgell
