I would normally agree and go with the best deal since they all seem similar, but after reading the quote from Traxxion I have to wonder if all fork braces are actually created equal. I certainly don't want to put on a fork brace and then have high levels of stiction, poor suspension feel, worn bushings, and premature fork seal leaks. I did send Traxxion a message requesting clarification so will see what they say.
Our fork brace is designed with special slotted centering holes so it impossible to put the forks into a bind when installed properly. With a common two-piece design, it is impossible to allow for machining and assembly tolerances which can lead to very high levels of stiction, poor suspension feel, worn bushings, and premature fork seal leaks. You will have less flex at parking lot speeds and additional stability on the highway.
It sounds like they are distinguishing their brace from "a common two-piece design," by emphasizing that with their "special slotted centering holes" you eliminate the risk of "binding" the fork tubes if installed properly. They then go on to describe the "horrors (marketing)" of binding the tubes by using one of those inferior "common two-piece designs." Just my interpretation.
None of 'em are idiot proof. If you want to be 100% positive you'll 'avoid the horrors,,,' don't put one on.

I doubt that these "fork braces" really help or do much for the F6B in normal riding with one up..Nothing wrong with spending the money if one feels the need for such...Aftermarket accessories for bikes is a $Billions of dollars business and if these braces float your boat, so to speak, then add one and feel better about your bikes handling and ride....I still maintain that these are okay for some, but just another product to get your money!!!
I ride 1-up, and the improvement to front end firmness and feel after installing my Superbrace was distinct and welcome. Worth the investment. Given that all our bikes are built to the same spec, hard to imagine all these users being wrong about the value of a fork brace. In fact, on my first freeway ride I was a bit alarmed at how much flex I could feel in the handlebars at speed. The fork brace eliminated that as an issue.
This is a legitimate, performance enhancing product. Unlike, let's say, chrome and LED accent lights.
I rode a 2008 GL 1800cc as a Police bike. And yes, it had the wobble, it was dangerous and troubling. I have not noticed it at all on the 2013 F6B, has anyone else? I would buy a fork brace if I thought I needed it but I do not see the need for it. I did buy a new Mustang seat, the drop in the center of gravity and the difference in handling is enormous. I was easily managing 60-70 mph twisties in the Texas Hill Country where the indicated speeds were 30mph and lower. I'm a longtime rider, but love to get good advice from informed folks. Someone tell me the reasons you have put the fork brace on your F6B.
Not trying to qualify anything....If you feel the need for a brace on your ride then by all means install it and enjoy.I personally do not see, or feel, the need to spend $200 dollars on something I do not want or need...Yes, I may change my mind one day, but there is not enough evidence from those who have one to convince me it is worth it for my style of riding...Regards....
That's my interpretation as well. However there is a big difference between simply saying one product is better versus saying the competitors product is so inferior that it might cause very high levels of stiction, poor suspension feel, worn bushings, and premature fork seal leaks. If you're going to slam the competitor you should also offer proof that these issues have actually happened.
