I never tried one. I recall hearing good things about the general idea of fork braces, don't know if it was this brand or not.

The OEM conventionals certainly do tweak! That isn't something I felt that was happeing, but felt it STOP happening with the USD forks on.

My damper went from absolutely completely useless to actually accomplishing something!

Might as well try one. You know you wanna!!

I hate those OEM forks. Tweak is an understatement in some cases. I was told to get a fork brace and screw the USD forks because 1. they cost much more to set up and 2. that they are no better than the OEM forks. That dude had never ridden my 220 up Upper Moto though, he had no idea what I was talking about. :lol:

If i was going to spend $150 on a fork brace I would rather spend abit more and put those USD forks on. Damn, I bet I could make my own fork brace in school. Bust out those milling skills.

if you could find a brace for 60-80 bucks then it would help a lot. I had one on a DR650 and it made all the difference in corner and deflection stability.
