Default Superbrace is...super!!

Ordered my brace two days ago via the dyna group buy and already got the brace via UPS today. It took hubby 10 mins to install and took alittle test ride. Rides great.

We are taking a mtn. ride tomorrow as it will be the last this year due to weather so I will get a chance to really put it thru the paces.

Right on! Awesome product. I'm very happy with mine and got it just as fast as you did when I ordered a while back. Very good people to deal with.

Yeah the brace works well for older bikes and some newer bikes with small diameter forks. Those with 44 mm forks will not see or feel any improvement unless there is also a front end problem. They look good, however.

On bikes with fork diameter less than 44 mm the tubes can bend a little during distress from turning or braking. The brace holds them together enhancing the stability of the ride. 44mm and above won't feel that.

Don't take this as the beginning of a pee'in contest, but my FXD has 49mm forks and I can tell the difference with it on. Prior to installing it I have felt the front end wobble/feel unsteady a handful of times while going 70+ and cornering on bad hwy surfaces. Only time will tell if the Superbrace fixes that - even partly. But I think it is an over-reach to say no one with 44mm+ forks would benefit from the Superbrace.

We do agree that there should be less difference made on thicker forks.

They do make a difference on the 39MM FX forks for sure.

I note H-D went from 39 mm to 41 mm forks then straight to 49 mm.

I've had the brace on for quite a while (+2 yrs) and can honestly say it made virtually no difference in handling performance.
The actual improvement for me was the installation of Race Tech cartridge emulators. A similar product is called intimators (sp). A lot of people have said they got improved ride with a spring replacement but after installing the CEs I felt no need to spend any more money on the front suspension.

As one other mentioned, the Superbrace does look cool.
