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. |

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. |

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. |

I installed the Ku 7339 Gen 2 fork brace in 2011 and noticed an instant more solid feel in the front end of my 2007 Wing. I have not experienced the wing wobble on that bike so I cannot relate to that issue. The install was easy and straight forward. One side of the bracket was a bit snug but it did fit after some persuasion. A solid nice looking brace with built in dust covers. |

Install was easy ...the only thing needed was metric allen wrenches. I had it installed in 20-30 minutes. It still seems to have some low speed wobble but it may be due to the fact that I need a new front tire also. We will see how it is after the front tire is installed with dyna beads. |

Quick and easy install. This fork brace really improves handling, however I am finding that my arms and shoulders seem to get sore. Has anyone else noticed this? |

Price is a plus since it includes the dust covers. Very easy installation and with the chrome it looks nice on the bike. I can feel a difference in the stability especially when moving at slow speeds. |

Had in on the bike for a couple thousand miles. I notice a difference at slow speed. Well worth the money. |
