You should also include in your quest, Non adjustable Super Brace, adjustable Kury, Traction. Adjustable meaning cross brace being removable. May or may not mean anything. Also left or right fork leg.
Traxxion FB, no leaks.
I still maintain "if it ain't broke why fix it"....JMHO on the fork brace issue.....
New Honda patent, just saying:

Having a functional front suspension while braking isn't bad either (read: no ADV).
18 thousand trouble free miles on mine with a Superbrace installed.No leaks on fork seals and the brace does make the bike handle better with a more solid front end feel-even if some here who have not even tried one claim there is no need for one
I live in the high desert country with a lot of fine dust in the air and my habit is to wipe down the fork legs before each ride to keep the dirt down off them.Seems to work as my rides have not developed seal leaks over the years-Hope I just did'nt jinx myself
That is one funky looking suspension invention. I think it needs some paintNew Honda patent, just saying:

And still the same ole trunk that doesn't match the bags.
Here is another newer Honda patent. If Honda is doing multiple front-end revs, it appears they see room for improvement.
We’ve seen the Japanese firm throw out patents for a leading-link suspension system over the past year or so but the latest patents filed by Honda now show the final idea for the new bike, which looks very much like a system already in use on the BMW K1600 called the Duolever.
What this will do is give the bike a much more direct feel to the road, with more feedback to the rider and a more balanced approach into corners on the brakes. Effectively, this change will upgrade the Wing’s quality of ride.
Other patents show that the bike will also get a new daul-clutch gearbox mounted underneath the flat-six engine which will have automatic and semi-automatic modes and a reverse gear too. thumb-scroll controls for the bike’s various tech and information screens are also mentioned in the patents.
The new Wing will also get an electronically-controlled windscreen, too.http://www.morebikes.co.uk/scoop-hon...sion-overhaul/On the Honda, the Duolever-type system uses a single shock mounted under the headstock. Connected to it is a pair of forward-facing wishbones which are rigid – gone are the conventional telescopic forks on the current Wing.
