Default Front Fork Brace

Anyone installed a front fork brace on their BO ?

I'm interested in installing one but I'm unsure about fitment, would one designed for the Wide Glide 49mm front forks fit ?

Thanx

Just ordered a Superbrace this afternoon. From their video, it seems like a rugged unit and in any case its apparently the only option for now.

You'll appreciate the internal upgrade bro. I've got the RaceTechs and Ricors. Reason I'm getting the brace is that I've also installed 2" fork extensions and want to stabilize the extra fork length.

Hey! I just joined and wanted to make my very first post to thank many of you for the tips, ideas, inspiration and how-to's that I have gotten from this thread specifically. Took delivery of this June 4, but I'm in FL...and if you have noticed it has rained almost to Noah levels here since June 1, so not many miles logged yet.

Since delivery I've done quite a few things--[EDIT] some shown in the second pic below--but still have much fun ahead of me tinkering and tweaking--thanks to the info I've gotten from you guys (& gals). Will post updated pics when it's back from getting lowered.

Question Fatboy / Breakout conversion

Currently putting a Breakout front end on my wife's Fatboy. I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible and have come across one area of question. What is the stock fork tube length of the breakout? I've seen multiple people putting wide glide tubes in their breakouts and STREET BOBS to add an extra 2-2.5 inches. I know the street bob tubes are 49mm and 25.5 inches long, but are half the cost of the breakout tubes. If anyone could shine some light on the difference and/or the length of the breakout tubes would really help me finish up this project.
