Default RSD Fork Brace Installed...Pics

Had a chance to take some pics with the fork brace installed...No fitment issues or anything. Has enough of a gap to fit a 21" as well.

I've been waiting for that to be available for the Sportster. Did you get it from Drag Specialties?

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.
