Rides Like A New Bike
I recently purchased this brace for my 2012 Wing with 83k miles on it. I had read a lot of positive reviews, so i decided to make this part 1 of a 3-part suspension upgrade. I must say this is the best money I've spent on my bike and have spent a lot. The install took about 30 minutes. I immediately felt the difference leaving my driveway riding over the gutter bump. On the street level going 20-45 mph the vibration you normally feel in the handlebars is gone. At highway speeds 55-80 mph no more vibrations or feedback in the handlebars from road surface imperfections. This brace actually keeps the fork tubes true and vertical. This means quicker lean angles in turn and curves. You will really feel a positive difference when you perform U-turns. You don't realize how much the GoldWing forks flex until you install this brace. I now enjoy more spirited rides than I did before. next, I will upgrade my fork springs with the Progressive fork spring kit and change out my steering bearing for the All Balls set. |

Essential!
I have installed in my 2008 with low miles stiffer Racetech springs, thicker oil, and the antidive is modded (all I highly recommend). My final unresolved concern was with walking speed stability. Little bumps and things would make the bike go where I wasn't sending it and no I'm not an amateur rider. I only have a one day ride with this installed and it is obvious, the front end is so much tighter. I even noticed it today at higher speeds when hitting imperfections in the road, no more small wiggle. Will time tell, nope, the difference is right away obvious. A note though for dyi'ers, I've spent decades working on forks mostly dirt bike, installing this part does require MORE than bolt and go, if your not familiar with getting your forks in proper "alignment" then do some research or have a shop do it for you. |

Very Nice
I ordered this because I can grasp the concept of what it is, and how it may work, but to be down rite honest with you, I don't notice much difference. It looks really nice, and is nicely made, but the kind of riding my wife and I do, its just hard to say that it helps |

huge improvement
noticed a huge improvement in the suspension after adding this fork brace. Its probably the best investment you can do for your front end without a question. |

Easy install
Great looking product, easy install. Slow speed handling has improved as well as high speed stability. |

Really makes a difference
Stabilizes the front end, not just another piece of stick on chrome plastic. I installed this along with teh Progressive Monotube cartridges and it feels like the same bike, but so much better. This really ought to be standard equipment on a bike this heavy. |

It works!
I must admit that I bought this piece because I liked the way it looks, but after riding with it, I definitely notice the improvement. Steering is much more solid, especially at low speeds. |

Definete Improvement
I sometimes I let go of handles to make a connection or adjustment. Under 40 mph the front would shake. Not with a fork brace though. After installation I traveled for 30 miles just to test at 55 mph with no hands. These should be standard from factory! |

Oh Crackers!!
Well received my Gen 2 Chrome Ford Brace for my Level 4 GL1800. A good piece of work and I was so ready to install... When I realized the package say's "Not for Air Bag Models" Well that is what it means. Called Kuryakyn to verify and NO it will not work because of air bag sensors on the forks. Oh well, I am hoping for a credit from Wingstuff upon return on some other goodies for my Wing. |

a snap to install
I believe just about anyone could install this brace. The handling improvement at low speed is great. Being a double dark sider I can say it made a handling difference that was worth it >>>> keep the greasy side down, ride hard, live long. |
