Noticeable difference
After upgrading my front forks with Traxxion springs, I installed this for brace. Went on easy and made a noticeable improvement in stability when making slow manuvers, stops, etc,. This product reduces the flexing of the front forks providing greater stability, and it adds a nice look. |

Why isn't this standard equipment?
I’d been reading and researching fork braces for several years and initially thought, if Honda felt they were needed they’d be standard equipment. I was wrong! As good as the engineers who design these bikes may be, they aren’t perfect. For starters, I’ve had 3 new Hondas over the last 10 years and all came with Dunflops. All cupped and shook like mad within 5k and could never get any warranty service on them. Very dangerous tire & wouldn’t use another if it were given to me for FREE. After much research decided on Bridgestone’s for replacements and must say, with just over 1k on them they are fantastic. I also had the proverbial low speed issues and took the leap of faith with this fork brace. What a difference. Not so much at high speeds, but low speed handling is greatly improved. Easy install, looks great & improved handling at a reasonable price. What more could one want? |

This is great
I thought no way will this work, so I eat my words it is great, steering so much more stable, when hitting a bump or uneven road much more control no shake or wobble which I had before. Highly reccomend it. Should have been standard. Mine is fitted to a 2003 1800. |

Fork Brace
The brace did not get rid of the wobble, new steering head bearing did. The brace did tighten up the feel of low speed parking lot manuvers. I could feel an improvement the second I pulled out of the drive - Love it |

Gen 2 GL1800 Chrome Fork Brace
Pretty easy to install. Too bad you really can't see it because it is very well made with a quality chrome job. I never had a front end wobble but I'm a recent Goldwing trike owner. I can see how it would help support the front forks especially on a trike considering the laterial forces the forks get when cornering. |

Fork Brace
Immediate handling upgrade. GW felt more responsive and stable in tight turns. However, my wobble still there. My wobble started when I changed tires. I only have 3ths miles on Dunlop Elites and I think most of wobble coming from rear tire cupping. Going to change to Bridgestones. |

Fork Brace
I agree. Should have been put there by the factory. Road grooves, uneven road surfaces, bridge grooves, tight turns, even potholes, this thing takes it all on and the bike remains steady and solid. Good product. |

Why did I wait so long????
Okay, so I have a 2001 GL1800. I have had my fair share of tire wobble about 6K into each and every new tire I have put on my bike. I ride around 12K yearly and have purchased new tires every year for the past 5 years. I purchased the brace last fall and installed this spring with a warn and incredibly wobbly fron tire. Immediately after mounting the wobble is 98% gone. Before mounting the brace at 30MPH the front end was all over the place without a firm hold. After mounting it was barely noticable. Dont make the same mistake I did.......this thing works!!!!!!! |

Probably should have been there from the factory
OK, the power of suggestion is really strong with this one. I've found the wing from the factory to be an exceptionally stable bike especially for it's size. However, after installing this brace, cornering was tighter, ride was smoother, heck even the engine purr was tighter...dunno, the bike just felt extremely well connected with this thing in place. The chrome job is thick and top notch. The fit is great, just like it was born there. |
