Any update on these?

just my opinion haveing made some fork braces myself out of alloy plate highly polished ,one for my commando because I like makeing stuff and thought it looked Good, and another for someone else, I personally think there only for looks and any front end benefit is slight.

Every bike seems to respond differently to a fork brace. My KLR really tightened up with the brace installed but my KZ and a Honda that I put them on didn't seem any different. I'd be curious to see what it does for the Scrammie.

My steering dampner definitely works. I was getting a dangerous weave at anything over 175kph, but can now cruise at 185kph with rock-solid stability.
The only thing is, it's a big ugly add-on.

But it's growing on me. & it works so d@mn well, there's no way I'm taking it off.
PS Helps with low speed stability in mud too.

Sorry, just saw this. SuperBrace has had some pretty serious production delays, due to a recent move, among other things. I hate to give an updated ETA because the past ETA's have come and gone. Once the Brown truck drops these off, they'll be on the site. I apologize for the longer than expected delay.

Not everywhere, obviously, but yes it will. If I took the screen off it, I think I could get it up to 200kph (125mph). & as it's only got 3000 klms on it since the 904 rebuild, I think it might get even faster yet, when it's fully run in.
Though I'm about to go down to a 16t front sprocket, which is going to cut my top speed a little, but should give it almighty grunt in the bush.
I've got my Street Triple to satisfy my need for speed anyway, & I doubt that I could ever get the Scram to go as fast as that does stock (230kph), no matter how much money I threw at it.
