fork brace

[solman]

I finally broke down and ordered a superbrace fork brace last night.  Everyone that has done the same have had very positive things to say about them.  I am really looking forward to finding out for myself.  I've done a few upgrades lately and this will be my last upgrade for a while.  I found a ebay store that sells them for $116.  I don't think that I would be able to find one cheaper than that.  They normally go for $135-$140.  If you got one, tell me if it made a difference for you.

I run the Holeshot and it help make a lot of difference. Another cheap upgrade to add with it is a set of Progressive Springs.

I do want to upgrade the springs and some racetech gold valves, but those will have to wait.  This is my last upgrade for the time being.

When you are ready for the Race Tech setup, let me know. I am a dealer.

Thx, I will keep that in mind.  BTW, what does a setup cost?  I haven't priced them yet.

I will look into it and let you know.

I got my fork brace today and it is a bit beefier than I expected.  When they say that the tolerances are close, they ain't kidding.  It fit like a glove and I can't wait to try it out.

They are supposed to be that way.

Not only that but the Super Brace is a 2 piece design for superior strength and is the best looking, especially for the price IMHO.

I figured that, it is just that the fit was better than expected.

  I have one on mine too, as far as telling the difference, I'm sure it helps. But I can't feel a big difference.I bought it in a group buy on this board a couple years back. I had put the RT gold valves and springs in after the 1st year of riding. I think it was my 1st mod. That did make a huge difference.Then my shock was the 2nd mod. (a 98) also a big difference.   Dan

I took it out for a ride today and felt a nice difference.  It seemed to make the bike more solid during aggressive riding.  I must say that between all the upgrades, I am very pleased with my results.  I really wanted to ride a bit more aggressively, but there was too much traffic.  I want to go with the race tech gold valves and springs, but that will have to wait.

My current upgrades are:
SS lines front and rear
Busa shock - stock settings
Super Brace - fork brace

Sol - you got a link to that store? I tried running a search on eBay and came up with squat. Or are there any other online retailers that anybody knows of (other than ordering from the mfg)?

[solman]

I added the link for the one that I bought and here is another link for a Tarozzi.  You may want to check with Blade as well.  I know that he has his sources as well.  The Superbrace is the one that I went with.  I don't know if the Super Brace is an overkill or not, but it is definitely a beefy brace.

I found the Tarozzi yesterday but like the looks of the Superbrace better. Thanks, Sol!
