I purchased a SuperBrace from Wingstuff.When I was installing the dust/fork covers I dropped one and when I stepped back crushI stepped on it.
I called SuperBrace on Monday and a Scott picked up and I told him the story and he just laughed.When I offered to buy a new cover Scott said email me your address I will send them
out to you FREE.Well I got them today from CA to me in NJ.I just wanted to say a BIG THANKS to SuperBrace for great service and a great product
Ride it like you stole it
Awesome!
That's great service for a well made product.
Great customer service. Question is the brace really worth it? Can you tell the difference in handling? I've been thinking about it, this is my 3rd wing I didn't do it on my other ones because I never really had any issues with handling or wobble or anything like that. Curious to hear some reviews from those that have it on there F6B's
Sorry no test ride for a few more weeks.Bike is all apart for Winter mods.Some people said they noticed a difference with handling and some said they felt no differenceOriginally Posted by Wmorgan2k

will have to wait and see for myself
No question Wing Stuff is a first class operation run by first class people....my question is how/why did the brace break "just" by being stepped on unless you are a over sized person or just a freak accident ???
I use the Kuryakan unit and believe it does stiffen up the front forks especially at slow speeds, and is worth the money !!!

Steve you have to attach 2 dust/fork covers on the SuperBrace.I dropped just 1 of the covers not the brace and when I stepped back it was under my footNo question Wing Stuff is a first class operation run by first class people....my question is how/why did the brace break "just" by being stepped on unless you are a over sized person or just a freak accident ???

For those that asked the question about whether a fork brace helps or not.........
I used to use a fork brace on a lot of my bikes back in "the" days, like my 3 Honda ST-1100s, my 2 Honda GL-1500s, etc, etc. And I even used one on my first 2 GL-1800s, but not on the 3rd one. On all those bikes, I always went with the Superbrace brand. Good quality product, and as we already know...it is sold through WingStuff.
On this F6B, after the first 20,000 miles, I decided to add the Kuryakyn fork brace, also sold through WingStuff, and I am quite pleased with the difference it makes. The most noticeable changes are at slow speed parking lot manuevers, and at very high speed radical curves in the twisties. Really holds the front forks in a tighter line, with less flex of the forks.
As usual, to each his or her own, and...YMMV, but I like this product. If you want to avoid dropping one of the dust shields....get a Kuryakyn brand one, like Steve and I have done, as the dust shields are built in to the brace. And it is powder-coated a very high gloss black.

I just completed an installation video for SuperBrace which should now appear on their website. It is super easy to install yourself in under 15 minutes. A local F6B rider brought his bike by to let me do the install and he emailed me when he got home to tell me how much better his bike handled after the SuperBrace was installed.
I can tell you that on my 2012 Goldwing the SuperBrace does make a difference, especially in low-speed handling. Like, when you need to make a tight u-turn. The front end feels much more planted and stable. A SuperBrace is the least expensive thing you can do to firm up the front end of your bike.
