Default RE: Will A Fork Brake Make a Noticable Difference?

Whether a fork brace makes a difference depends on how hard you ride and how flexible your front end is. Shorter front ends with 39+mm tubes and good trees probably won't benefit much from one. I have an old Sportster with 35mm tubes and the "press fit" top tree (without pinch bolts), and a SE brace makes a world of difference in the twisties. I've never liked the look of a fork brace on long, extended forks, though. They're gonna flex anyway, so why clutter them up with a brace?
