Seriously? Why? It would be no different than a lower triple tree and an axle and two fork legs wouldn't it?

Just going on what the info said on Samurider.com.

I may be wrong.

Interesting..with all the ABS bikes out there nowadays, and predictions of it being mandatory one of these days, that does not bode well for fork brace mfgs if true.

Good point, I think all new bikes over 125cc in the UK and European Economic Community will have to be equipped with ABS from January 1st 2016.

Guess I'd better rip up the business plan for 'Tortuga Fork Braces Ltd' Sad

On samurider, the Plot brace does have the ABS warning, but the Agras does not. You might want to email Takashi and ask.

On a different note, I received an Agras brace and Plot chrome chain guard yesterday and installed both. Takashi IS the man!

sorry Ferret, still haven't bothered to figure out how to post pics. I'd ask a 12 yr. old, but I don't know any...

Geez, popgun. Can you take a digital photo and get it onto your computer?

OK OK, I have the instructions from ferret. I'll get on it. Blush

And yes, I do know how to get pics to a PC, I just need to set up an account on photobucket or something.

I can post pics directly to the forum, no need to get a photo bucket account for this site.

I suspect it's just the extra plumbing that's in the way. Probably only affects bikes with the interfering brake hoses and fittings. Don't think a fork brace has any relationship to the function of ABS otherwise.

Red Mist,

That was my thought too. Samurider included a nice glossy catalog of 2014 bikes. Its in Kanji, but the pictures aren't! Tongue

Anyway, there does look to be a fair amount of plumbing, but it didn't look like it would get in the way. Looks like a little re-routing could be done if needed, but was hard to tell with pics they had.

To add to my post above, my bike is non-abs.

The Spaceman_imp · 04-02-2014, 10:21 PM

My SuperBrace is supposed to arrive today, and I have an ABS bike. There's a cross-over hose and fairly chunky hose unions on either side of the fender, but they all seem well back from where the brace will go.

I'll post if there's anything unusual about the installation.
