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. |

Update on My Easiest Install Ever
Be careful. The screws that hold the brace portion in place are very soft and can't be safely torqued without stripping out the head. Can't understand why Kury would use such soft metal. |

My easiest install ever
Love the looks of this brace and it was a snap to install. Weather has not allowed a test ride yet but I expect to get similar results as others who have installed this brace. |

They work
Some say using these for a trike is a waste, not so in my case. Taken all wobble out of front wheel and reduced road vibrations a lot. Extended the life of the front wheel as well. Have 6,000 miles on my GW1800 Champion Trike since installation by me of fork brace and tire shows limited wear compared to when none was on machine.Easy install, worht it for me. |

Impressed
Like you, I read most of the reviews about this product and similar braces. I decided on this brace based on the reviews I read. I have to say I am impressed. I did not have a "wobble" unless I let go completely of the handlebars. I did, however, notice there was flex in the forks on curves, lane changes, turnarounds, etc. I purchased this fork brace mainly because of its adjustability so I would not possibly end up with the forks binding. Reading the installation instructions prior to purchasing and seeing the brace, left me with questions and a lack of understand on how to install the brace. After receiving the brace and following the instructions, I was able to install the brace in about 15 minutes. Easy. The instructions are quite accurate and easy to follow once you have the product in your hand and installing the product. If you are all ready familiar with these braces, then you will understand the instructions better than I did. I notice an impressive amount of stabilization in the forks after installing. I felt like I had to relearn how to ride my wing because it was so solid and responsive. I noticed this more at lower speeds than highway speeds. On the highway, the brace made lane changes over the road crowns and tire ruts very positive. No more flexing. So far, I love this brace and would highly recommend it. |

Worth the cost
I installed these on my 2013 Wing and they improved low speed handling as well as the handling in the twisty mountain roads that I ride most of the time. The Wing now has the feel of a sports touring bike., that is a bonus. They are very easy to install and look awesome. |

The Good and Ugly
Looked great when installed, feels like it did reduce some wobble but after a few months the chrome peels off. Very Poor quality for Kuryakyn. Undecided if I will try and have it re chromed or buy another brand. Really ugly on a $40,000. Trike. |
