I know some have the feeling that these "fork braces" do help somewhat on certain issues...I cannot render any meaning-full opinions as I do not have one on my F6B....but I am having Traxxion fork springs, new seals, oil, etc. and AllBalls steering head bearings installed later this month by a large dealer here in Michigan that has done lots of these up-dates both on trikes and Goldwings by a tech that has worked on Wings for over 15 years, and he said the fork brace is not necessary and 95% of the bikes he has done do not use them and are fine.....If you are a really aggressive rider and like to take corners fast etc.., perhaps it might be worth a try...JMHO
