I am seeing these advertised in the popup ads lately. What do they do and why would I need one?

If I'm not mistaken, their purpose is to improve stability and turning, especially at slower speeds. I'm not sure there is a consensus on whether or not they're effective or more of a 'snake-oil' item. Nonetheless, they look cool, covers up more chrome w/ black. There's members on here that have them I believe. I'm sure they'll be more informative than I've been.
Elroy has the general gist of it right.
We have the Kury braces in black. Seems a little tighter at slow speeds, perhaps a little tighter at higher speeds,,,
Wifey can't tell the difference,,, (She's kinda 'like that',,,, that's probably why she's with me! )
Added the Superbrace to mine. Felt a better at low speed. Looks cool and was easy to install. I like to think it helps.
Stock versus SuperBrace …..
It's like comparing a 3 point seat belt to a 4 point seat belt, both work however in extreme situations the 4 point seat belt is much more secure and preferred.
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
I have the Kuryakan. Don't notice any major difference. Asked my mechanic about it. He said that on earlier bikes the braces helped stabilize the fork. The new Honda Goldwings have a stiff fork to begin with so in his opinion not much help. He would advocate for the "progressive suspension".
