Default SuperBrace - what will I feel?

With the SuperBrace sale on now, just wonder what I will feel (or not feel) from the front end? Will the SuperBrace help the wander I get from running on grooved pavement? We have those rain groove all over the roads here and the grooves are far from straight. OR is this wander a tire problem? I'm a Dunlop D402 on the front and am thinking of trying Metzeler ME880 next.

I put a fork brace on a Honda CB750, didn't make any difference. Changed the front tire, that cured the problem. What model Harley do you have? Hope you find someone withHarley experience with this brace.

It should make your ride feel less spongy, and tighter. That is what they were designed for anyway. I got one on mine too. In reality it is a band aid approach, and a new inverted front end would probably be the cure, but 100 bucks and 10 minutes as opposed to 650 bucks and who knows how long to change the inverted would take to change not to mention $ wise if you are mechanically challanged.

I just installed superbrace on my 96 fxdl,and to tell you the truth I don't feel any difference. But,I have to take it for a longer ride to have definitive opinion. By the way,I rebuilt the entire front end,installed new neck berrings,new bushings,oil seals,nylon seals on dumper rods etc,SE fork oil,progressive susp springs.Front end works better,is firmer,no shaking,smooth,but with or without brace is the same.Mat
