I was kinda hoping they'd sponsor me before I spent all this money with them 
Yup...ordered it from my dealer through drag
I'm sure you can mock one up yourself, but don't know of any knock-offs yet.
Couldn't agree more with cHarley. If you're looking for performance, this isn't the brace for you. I would look at the superbrace.
Looks pimp!
probably a newb question... I get the point that it's for stability but, do you see any diffrence in handeling on a daily bassis? or is it more for high speed type deal?
You won't notice any difference. The brace is more for looks than stability. Plus I don't get aggressive enough in the twisties on a Harley in order to notice the difference with a for brace. Just something to replace the fender.

Very nice looking fork support.
I should probably keep my mouth shut here, but in the interest of the newbies & nOObs here, this device should only be considered as a fork support replacement in the case that you choose to remove the front fender and are looking to replace the fork support that the fender supplied. From an engineering and performance standpoint, a U shaped support such as this, should not be confused with or considered to be equivalent to a true Fork Brace as sold by HD, Superbrace, etc. A U shaped bracket is not in the same league as a relatively flat, straight, cross fork, brace when it comes to countering the lateral loads placed on the fork tubes in a hard turn or the twisties.
