I have one, I'm a believer. I've used them on other bikes with good results as well. Here's a little description of what they do:

You'll prob'ly get a 50/50 split from believers/detractors. I love mine, and it felt like it made my front end more "solid"...could'a been 'placebo effect'. BUT, the compliments I get on it are [so far] universally positive. Most popular comment seems to be, "That looks tuff as hell!" I agree. With the upgraded dust caps, I had to hog out my fender mount holes so it would clear the brace.

I bought one a while back and really couldn't feel any difference with the brace on...I decided to put it back on (the third time) cuz I figure it "might" help in certain conditions and leaving it on doesn't hurt anything other than adding about 1 1/2 lbs of unsprung weight. ![Icon Denk](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_denk.gif)
IMO, I don't think the 49mm forks need a brace...

I had one back in the day on my FXLR. I found that it really increased the stability in the twisties, and when I was really riding hard in the canyons. Day to day riding couldn't really tell any difference. It's designed to reduce flex in the forks, and provide better tracking in the hard corners. It worked for me. On the + side, they just look great!
