New Fork Brace

[rdprdp01]

I got a good 2 hour ride in on the new fork brace today.  Honestly, prob not much of a difference at the speeds and forces I am turning with right now.  I have been away from riding for about 15 years, so although I had a lot of experience back in the day, I am not riding the way I did in my 20s (for a lot of reasons).

But, I do think a 500lb motorcycle should have more than just a fender bridging the fork sliders down there, so even if it is just psychological, I like having it on.  Hopefully as I get more new miles behind me my lean angle confidence continues to improve.

For anyone looking for a brace, I would recommend this one from SFriding.  It fits very precisely and appears to be well-engineered.  The Al is thick enough that I have confidence it will eliminate flex within reason.  Weight is decent, hardware is solid.

Last thing...  I pulled over for a moment to get this fellow off the hot pavement...

You meet the nicest people on a Honda. Very kind of you.

Nice looking brace and emotionally comforting. You did well! David
