Yammer Dan Posted May 22, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 22, 2011 Saw one of them make it to E-Bay last week. Wondered why they would give up a Super Brace?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted May 22, 2011 Saw one of them make it to E-Bay last week. Wondered why they would give up a Super Brace?? I saw that. Pretty groady. Probably off a salved bike. It wasn't one of ours and don't think it was a Super either. At least not one I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisolm1 Posted May 22, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 22, 2011 I've got one I bought from Condor last year but never installed. I'm riding my RSV almost exclusively now so if someone is in need please PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbe Posted July 31, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 31, 2011 I would be interested in a fork brace upgrade...(is there a posibillity of getting it black...?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted July 31, 2011 I haven't had a black anodized brace since the first group buy 2 to 3 years ago. You could shoot it Krylon Semi-Flat black and get the same look..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob57 Posted July 31, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 31, 2011 I have a question regarding a new fork brace. I have been feeling a shake when I turn. Would the new fork brace correct this or would there be an addional problem? I read the link regarding tires and hard turning but this is more of a shake. Any suggestions where to start would be helpfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brace isn't a cure all but a performance enhancement. Could be a lot of things from the bars to the wheel. Wheel bearings is also a possibility.??

Yammer Dan Posted August 1, 2011 Share #12 Posted August 1, 2011 Adjust steering head bearings. The brace will help. Could be tire or tire pressure or wheel bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions where to start would be helpfull. The best 3 things you can do with your first gen to help with shakes/vibrations etc in the front end are: 1. Fork Brace 2. Progressive springs 3. Head bearings. This assuming you have a good set of tires already mounted. The fork brace is the most inexpesive and easiest to do... start there. After all it is just money...... ooh and your ass depends on it! :mo money: :mo money: :mo money: :mo money: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbe Posted August 11, 2011 Share #16 Posted August 11, 2011 Recived the fork brace today and installed it immediately. To be honset, I didn't really expect the differance it acctually made! Not a single shake and stady as on rails. I don't really understand why it makes such a differance but indeed it does, thanks for a nice piece Condor, as I see it in real life it feels a bit as a waste to paint it black!

Glad to hear it made it across the pond OK Abbe,.... and that you like the results. They should have made the brace standard issue on 1stGens. Probably the best bang for the buck a first gen'r can install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Psycho Posted August 11, 2011 Share #18 Posted August 11, 2011 Mine shakes and shimmies and handles horribly. I am getting some mkII forks and upgrading brakes, I also am going with progressive springs. WHile I have it apart I will check the steering head bearings. If I still have shake and shimmy then I will look into a super brace. Mine specifically will shake on decel from about 45, it wobbles and is hard to hang on to in low speeds while corniering. I have brand new tires on it with no change. I would be excited to say my front brake was anemic, it is almost non existant. New SS lines, dual piston calipers, and better rotors are on the order slip. Scoty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
