Anyone installed a Superbrace?

Since the SH only has 41mm forks, they seem likely to be susceptable to some flex in the forks. I came across the SUPERBRACE which is supposed to reduce fork flex.

Does anyone have any experience with this on the SH? How was the installation? Do you notice any difference?

These things used to be a very popular mod some years ago. But if you can't feel any flex in your forks (and you probably can't) you won't feel any benefit. On the downside, they do add a little bit of stiction.

41mm is not the current size, but it's not skinny.

I agree with j. One my old cb750, I'm sure one of those would help, but the superhawk is fine. I skidded my front tire today a good 10 feet accidentally. The skidmark was nice and even-no skipping or hopping. I'd say the forks are fine.
By comparison, when I "aggresively" launch my camaro, it leaves pretty smooth marks, but they're a little choppy on the drivers side. Wheel hop is bad.
