I have been really unhappy with my front end. It just has seemed too damn stiff with the small bumps. I got some ricor intiminators....no help really. Then I found and interesting little tidbit of info on progressive site. They mention that the fork brace can cause stiction and if the front responds poorly to smaller bumps, uninstall fork brace and see if that was the cause. Sure enough....fork brace off, the bike rides 100% smoother. Oh well, I liked the way it looked. Anyways, if anyone owning a fork brace is unhappy with their small bump response, may want to check this possibility out.

 

Interesting.

 

Am I correct to think you have aftermarket springs in your forks?

 

Looked for a reference to fork braces on their website but coulldn't find anything, do you remember where you saw it or basically how they said the brace caused stiction?

Thanks,

what are you going to do with your brace? are they 49mm? i am intrested in it

 

Okay, dumb question of the day....

What is a fork brace and where is it?

 

My brace is a 41mm fork brace(sorry joe). page 2 #5 for info on fork brace stiction. http://www.progressivesuspension.com...rings/3055.pdf

 

Thanks, been thinking about changing suspension front and back after reading several posts, will watch out for this.
