Anyone using a fork brace?

I agree that the fork brace is really only noticeable when cornering the bike at higher speeds. It helps to keep the front end from having a slight wobble effect. It has no effect at all on the vibrations felt through the handlebars because of the pulses coming from the engine at Highway speeds. I use SE fork braces on all of my Sportsters except the XR1200 and my Buell XB12R Firebolt. I have seen an advertisement for a device that costs about $100.00 and it is installed inside of the handlebars and it is supposed to help reduce the handlebar vibrations but I have not used it nor do I know of anyone who has used one so I can’t say how effective it is or if it is worth the money.

On a Sporty, I don't think one would make a very big difference because of the narrowness of the forks. I pushed all of my Sporty's pretty hard every so often, and I never noticed any fork flex.
On my Softail, it made a huge difference in handling (because of the Wide Glide front end). Without one, you could feel the forks flexing under hard cornering.

Front end wobble
I had alot of front end wobble when I hit about 70mph. I got the superbrace and it didn't help. I rode my Dad's Sportster and it was a big difference. So I took it to the shop and they adjusted my forks somehow and it was a HUGE difference. I should have taken it to the shop right away. I've got a 2007 883 Low.
