A fork brace will help but does nothing for the under hang of the fork problem

the expense of the fork brace and re valve and new springs on OEM forks
is the same as doing a conversion.

I used a fork brace on my 200 KTM that had Marzocchi forks.

Back in 98 I bought KTM-200 MXC and converted it into a 200 SX using 125SX parts. Just loved that bike but it wouldn't travel the length of whoops without deflecting right or left due to fork flex. I put a fork brace on but I had to cut the sides of the fender up over the brace so the forks used full travel. Problem with that was, after cutting the fender every time I landed a big jump the ends of the fender would flex into the tire. ZZZZZZZZZZ

I was always afraid the knob would eat the rear of the fender and pull it into the forks brace.

I haven't seen fork braces in a long time. I share the same opinion as krazyinski; instead do doing revalving and buying a fork brace just swap for USD suspension. Very good prices on ebay.

Only good for spindly forks like the ones on my KLR650. Fork brace worked really well on it.
