I missed the deal on the group buy that happened a while a go but I wasn't sure about the fit on that one anyway. This will happen. chill

Here is the page on the whole design process etc: https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=18125
If I hadn't swapped out my forks I'd be getting one of these..
Truck: Do USD forks benefit from a fork brace, and are you going to make a 50mm version?

If I may chime in...
It really depends on the forks you're swapping to. I know the 929/954 triples are pretty chunky, and the forks are 50mm vice 41mm where they're attached to the triples. I don't think it's necessary for 929/954/1000RR/RC51 swaps.

I think the tubes are fine for lighter riders in the under 190lb range. The fork brace helps here a lot.
Billet triples (I'm working on that) are next for me. I'm 165 but I put it out there. They're wiggly - Chas really puts is out there - he's lighter than I am and says it's almost a tank slapper. This is entirely due to the flimsy construction of the stock triples.

A fork brace ties the two forks together to allow them to brace each other. This means less flexing of the front end and more predicable control when riding hard.

He's gonna say, yes! It's not the shock up and down - it's the flex in the tubes - front to back and side to side.

The upper diameter, were most of the stress is at the forks, is larger and therefore stronger. Therefore no brace needed.
Will a fork brace help modified stock forks? ABSOLUTELY!! Valving and springs are really great for the bumps, but where the fork brace helps is controlling the gyroscopic forces of the front wheel. Resulting in more precise handling and steering feel.
Again do this little test. stand in front of your bike clamping the front wheel with your legs. try to turn the front end with the bars. You will find out the front end flexes ALOT, this is what the brace eliminates

I got all excited today thinking that my brace had arrived. He got the color right but not the product. Does anyone know of a good way to contact him? I would like to keep the cct's for my dad's bike but I still want my fork brace.

Good luck. I think several people are awaiting any type of contact from him.
