    Took the B out after the kury brace and the frt end does seem more smooth and tighter in the turns...Definitely a good purchase IMHO...We'll see later how she responds in the fast twisties...

    I noticed a difference on straight rough roads. Didn't need to take it to the twisties, but did notice a difference there as well.

    On a straight rough road, it handles the bumps and imperfections better. Less feedback into the handlebars and less impact on steering. Basically holds the road better.

    Did you loosen your pinch bolts and re-seat your axle; after you attached your Fork Brace?

    I put on the Traxxion multi-piece (not the 2 piece) brace and did the width adjustments with the brace.

    I liked the improvement, so shortly after, I had the Traxxion Mega Monty (minus top triple tree clamp) install done, so the forks were removed and completely redone.

    I noticed the difference before I got in 3rd gear on straight road. Best way I know to explain it is that it tightened up the feel of the bike. I never noticed any lag in the steering---not saying there is any---but when I put the brace on the steering became more responsive. It is not something you need---but it did make a difference to me.

    OTOH---Helibars advertise their bar across the center will do the same thing. I did not tell any difference when I installed them, but to be truthful, I already had the Superbrace in place when I put on the bars. Maybe that is a true statement without the brace.

    Summary: It does make a difference for the better.

    Thanks for the reply and I agree with your assessment. I will leave things alone for now as I don't really feel the need...Kind of like ice cream ,great stuff by itself but a little better with some chocolate sauce topping....Ride safe
