maxmcdirect is still selling coerce braces on ebay. price may not be as good but like nuhawk said some of these parts are getting rare.

I recently put the Coerce brace on my VTR, along with a race tech kit. Very happy with both products. I'll post some pics soon.

Good to see that nothing amounted from this!? Who dropped the damn ball? What is the deal with the fork braces now? I still need one!

Anything ever come of this thread?
Just took a hard run up the coast with my girl on back and noticed the shortcomings of the stock susp......ick!
Fork braces?????

some asshole...

Yes, maxmcdirect still has them. I ordered one and it got here from Japan in three days. Wish I could say that for other CLOSER Ebay buys...Very nice quality too. Have to cut off the plastic fork protectors but who cares? I'll snug it up tight and post back after a spirited ride. $134.00 delivered.
I'm still neck deep in the valve adjust so maybe the weekend. Cheers.....

Put it on an hour ago...went for a ride (yah, I finished all the other work...see Modding valve shims by hand post in Tech disc), and it is worth every penny. Front end feels much more linear....more like it's going up and down instead of squishy squishy all over. Hard to describe..ever ridden a bike with upside down forks? More like that.

Have to add.......did some fastish highway riding yesterday and again...felt the difference in the front with the brace. More stable, planted, confident feel all around. Well, worth the bux...do it!

I'm interested as well!

do it

I would be interested as well but it would need to be sent down under to australia freight cost ? if not to much in freight count me in to.

If you do get this to fly count me in. Thanks :thumbsup:

I'm in...but is anybody actually working on this anymore?
Chris in Dallas...

no...just order from maxmcdirect.com
Brace is very light so shipping shouldn't cost.
They come from Japan so shipping to Aus shouldn't be any different than to US

Right on Redman. Thanks.

I am checking with my local Honda dealership to see what kind of price he can give our group for either the Superbrace or Coerce fork stabilizer.

I am shooting for a price of $80-90 plus shipping. For those that are still interested, please PM asap so I have a reasonable number of units to give him and not pulling a # out of my a$$.

Thanks.

Ok, so I pick-up the ball on this on-going topic about fork braces and so far only two members have responded about wanting them. Is this it as far as members who are interested in acquiring the braces?

This thread has 77 posts and 2231 views, so apparently there is more interest than two other members and myself. Come on, step up and PM me if you are interested.

Going once, going twice........................:confused:

Im interested. Pm me the information when you get it. :)

I bought a Coerce a few years back, its like night and day... and totally worth the money. I would say the performance increase is 25%... or so..

I had to modify the fork leg protectors and zip tie them on, although black zip ties would look better. I got mine thru Big Valley Honda in Reno, NV (Bob Hayashida).

I want one! But I'd like it before next weekend. I would prefer the one that requires less jerry-rigging/modfying/frankensteining!

Exercise
 

Coerce for 80, NFW! But if someone can get close, I'm in.

I'm in on the brace
 

Before next weekend or not...I'm in. PM me, email, call, whatever works best.

he just frankened his protector dealies back on. I just cut'em off. Haven't needed them on any of my bikes for 30 years, why do I need'em now?

Are those the black "boots" that cover the junction between the fork tubes/sliders?

From the original post I was thinking they were some kind of safety tabs. On mountain bike forks they now put these safety tabs on to keep the wheel from falling off if the rider (nube!) forgets to tighten the skewer, or more likely, doesn't do it correctly. We called them "Lawyer lips" and they kept a quick release lever from being just that...quick. Used to grind them off with a bench grinder. This sounds like no biggie. Sorry to make a big deal out of nothing.

I'm in. Just need to know the final price.

It looks like we have 8 members so far that are interested in the fork brace.

cscrawford I won't be talking to the local dealer until this Saturday as he is out of town until then. Once I speak with him I will post the details.

Thanks.

I'm in either way. Thanks for picking up the ball :)

The idea behind the fork protectors is to keep rocks and such from hitting the exposed fork legs and damaging them. even a small nick in the leg would be enough to damage the fork seals if they keep rubbing up and down over the imperfection. Which is why the old bikes used to run fork gaiters (the rubber boots) and inverted forks don't need them. Hope this helps.
