Default Superbrace

Can someone please advise me if this superbrace will work with my 2012 XL883N?

http://www.superbrace.com/proddetail.asp?prod=5184-01

It says 2009-2011 and I'm pretty sure it'll kit but what causes me to second guess is the fact that they have multiple models for the XL's and nothing conclusive to the XL883N or 2012 years.

Please advise, Thanks

I'm planning to get one soon, so I've been looking around. I think the sportsters have different fork spacing for different models. Are you getting the brace at a dealer or mail order?

Yes it will fit. Some of the manufactures of aftermarket parts have not updated there catalogs past 2011 for some reason.
I have bought parts that show up to 2011 for my '12 Iron.

I think these are well worth the money. Made a big difference in handling for my bike. Some people will argue that point, but that is my experience.

I recall there are two part #'s.

For the Iron/ Nightster one of the braces is machined to clear the rubber fork gater.

This is the one specified for the Nightster (1200 or 883 - no difference in the forks). http://www.superbrace.com/proddetail.asp?prod=5184

I've got a Superbrace on my bike. Really tightened up the fornt end. Been on there for almost 22k miles. No issues.

The Superbrace is worth the $$$.
