Now I'm a new Harley owner; proudly I might add of a 2010 FXDWG Wide Glide. Is my fork unstable now? I read the description on both fork braces and don't think my front end wobbles or has reduced stability.

I added a fork brace to my 02 WG. It adds some more nice , shiny chrome to the front end. Doesn't do a damn thing to change how the bike feels or handles.

My dyna riding pals swear by it...but let's not forget, the dyna db is more of a performance bike, and requires better handling at speed.

I was unsure about your complaint, whether it was a tire type vibration or a front suspension type problem, always hard to TS over the Internet. What did you do to solve your problem?

Did you leave the forum?

Dunno. My bike only goes up to about 110. It's doesn't seem to do anything up to that. Haven't been able to check it out at anything above that.

Not even that fast I have no idea if a wideglide can take turns like a superglide with suspension mods... Thereby I am not challenging your manhood.... just sayin I noticed it on mine while cornering hard. I also like my lyndall pads. The brake dust is nonexistant and mine don't squeal at all.

I'll admit, I don't usually push my WG too hard. It doesn't seem like a bike made to be pushed hard. I've scraped the pipes on a few right turns, and got the front wheel a couple of inches off the ground hitting second real hard a few times, but, generally, if I want to ride like a madman, I steal my nephews CBRR 1000.
