Been thinking of adding a fork brace to tame the front end / handlebar vibration at higher speeds. Question...do they work the way their supposed to? Is there a significant difference in the front end with it on? In short...is it worth the money?

 

Yes.

Most riders won't notice the difference, but if you really push the bike, you will find it stiffens the front end considerably.

It might not fix your front end vibrations, though. There are many, many causes of front end squiggles.

 

They don't do much for a stock front end when riding in a straight line - they're more for keeping the front end from twisting when carving corners.

 

Got one from one of the fine sponsers on this forum made special for the N.Guess it might help some,but looks good,very well made.

 

There is a little difference. It will not take out all of the vibration out that you might expect. I was expecting more of a solid vibration free ride ... but that is not the case. I have the stock narrow glide front end also.

You may also want to try a heavier weight fork oil to get the mushy feel out of your front end.

 

All the replies are kinda what I was expecting. Just wanted to get some info first hand. Thanks.

 

which sponsor did you get it from? i was thinking of picking one up as well.

 

Why SuperBrace of course.I had a bit of a wait on it,but very well made,easy install.

 

I have one on my Nightster and it looks Awesome plus really helps in the corners. now if I could just stop the jiffy stand & heat shield from scraping......sure don't corner like the SE RK did.

Well worth the $$$.

I have the Screamin Eagle brace and love what it does in the turns. In a straight line you won't notice a thing but in a corner, oh hell yeah....
