painted so I'll probably install this and some other stuff when the bike's stripped
down and that probably won't happen until late November.

The Superbrace is a piece of cake and big improvement, wouldn't wait to do that. The TrueTrack is a bit more work, but if you're talking months, .... I'd go for it too. Slow and careful took me most of a morning sweating and grunting, but the advantage you have would be not worrying too much about your paint if that's a couple of months out anyway.

The superbrace makes only posing sense for newer bikes, especially 44mm forks. Adds no function. Its advice left over from older bikes.
A chassis stabilizer helps, you can purchase the front half only (Sputhe), saves some work and $$$ and gets you 90% there.

I have 49mm forks and without a doubt the fork brace made a difference. Take whatever advice you like, but two noticeable changes for me were freeways with rain grooves and hitting a serious bump in a turn.
I added the Superbrace after the Truetrack and could feel the change in handling for both mods.
Before the fork brace I had to adjust steering in those situations, sometime holding the bars off track to keep the bike heading where I wanted. Now I hold the bars in the same exact position before and after a bump or getting caught in a grove and the bike stays were I want.
Try sitting on you scoot and throw the front end back and forth as hard as you can. If your wheel moves off from the bars, that's the forks twisting.
What keeps the forks aligned side to side is the support between them, not the thickness of the tubes, stock bike = the front fender.
