    Whichever one you buy! Both do the same thing. Saving money is always good.

    I think both are good.My thinking was some people say a fork brace works and others say they noticed no benefit.So with that thinking I got the SuperBrace because it was cheaper and after my blunder and SuperBrace stepped up for free I am and will always be a SuperBrace fan
    Ride it like you stole it

    Not sure,,, An incorrectly installed brace may be problematic,,
    The 2 flavors do have slightly different installation procedures,,, Best to install exactly as instructed.
    Wife and I have the Kury's. Happy so far!

    It appears that the Kury has more parts that need to be screwed together than the Super Brace. I would think that fewer parts being fastened together would lead to better long term rigidity. Just a thought. Also, in the past I've had less than stellar performance from Kury finishes, both chrome and gloss black. I've got the Super Brace and have been well satisfied with it.

    Recently read this quote on the Traxxion site referencing fork braces and it has me wondering which fork brace they are referring too.

    With a common two-piece design, it is impossible to allow for machining and assembly tolerances which can lead to very high levels of stiction, poor suspension feel, worn bushings, and premature fork seal leaks.

    I have had the SuperBrace on my F6B for over 20,000 miles with no problems. No Front tire wear, replaced at 17,000 because of a nail but could have gone to 20,000 if not for flat. No front end issues either. I am very pleased with my black SuperBrace.
