Those of you that have bought the superbrace, How do you like them? any difference in the ride?

Thanks

Take a look at the thread for ordering one in this topic. There were come comments from people who bought them.

I bought a Superbrace during the group buy a few months ago. I think it improved the ride over bumps and at high speeds... my 2 cents...

I also got in on the group buy. I feel it helped out some on the Custom.

I installed my SuperBrace yesterday and went for a long ride. I don't know what I was expecting, but this thing has completely transformed my bike. I didn't realize just how slow the steering was before, but now she drops into a curve like a sportbike. I went into a particularly nasty double S curve on one of my favorite stretches of road and was into instant oversteer. I had to back way off on the amount of countersteering I would normally use to negotiate these curves. Slow speed (parking lot) maneuvering is night/day different as well. When it comes to handling, it's like riding a different bike.

On the Interstate she tracks much more straight now. Much less prone to wander due to crosswinds or buffeting from passing trucks.

I couldn't be more pleased, to say the least. Bravo SuperBrace!

I own a Superbrace and feel the improvement is STRICTLY cosmetic.

I almost get flabbergasted at some of the ra ra's for these things... Its a $150 peice of chrome for your bike. I would suggest it, but only because it looks good.

It seems to me the xl883 and 1200r people see a bigger difference, I have a xl883 and noticed improvement.
could the lower bikes, customs and lows, not need it as much?

I'm wondering the same thing!! I know some of the "chopper" guys with the 4-6" extensions swear by them.
This may be the difference IMHO...:geek:geek:geek

shorter suspension = less to flex and twist
lower suspension = less strain on suspension

thats is how i see it from uneducated point of view with no real experinace to back it....but if it does work on the R's i am picking one up first oppurtunity. :)

Believe me, I know where you're coming from. When I bolted that thing on I fully expected to go for a ride and come back feeling like I'd just wasted 150 bucks. But the difference it made on my bike was unbelievable. I'm not into bright and shiny do-dads, so if I had not seen any difference, I would have taken it off and sent it back.
