forkbrace?

[soulmachine_imp]

Gaiters and fork brace end up in same place. Wont work.

Unless someone makes a brace that has provisions in place for the gaitors to slip over onto.

What symptoms occur to warrant installing a fork brace? I'm not talking about a racing bike, just your normal, everyday pleasure riding--no extreme leaning in curves, etc.

This isn't the first time I've come across fork brace thread pertaining to a 'standard' bike.

I knew the typical Honda quality would be there, but how the bike performs really surprised the hell out of me. This bike is as stable as a freight train (not the first time I've experienced that feeling on a standard bike) at triple digit speeds.

So, this really does beg the question, how are people riding their bikes, and what are the body types riding these bikes?

I'm 5'9 and weigh in the neighborhood of 155-160.

There has been nothing added onto my bike. It's bone stock. So no screen.

So far, I've been heavily suited up for cold weather riding. So bulky gear.

I dunno, I just can't see Honda screwing up one bike, and the next is perfectly set-up, then repeat the cycle all over again and again.

I'm genuinely curious as to why there as so many different thoughts on this.

***And for the record, I have ridden bikes that needed fork braces. Mainly older bikes that had very small diameter tubes. This just isn't one of those bikes.***
