Fork Brace

[poppajim]

I have a 2015 Gl1800 and want to add a fork brace. Which ones do you use?

None! Why do u think u need 1 ?

I use one manufactured by Traxxion Dynamics.

The fork brace has been on the bike/trike since 2009.

The bike is new to me put about 1000 miles on it and I notice a wobble /vibration up around 70 . Going over bumps I fell some wobble in the front end also. Not sure I need it so feedback is welcome

I have a '99 1500 CSC trike and I have a fork brace. Did it eliminate all speed wobbles and slow speed wobble after bumps? No. BUT, it did make them few and far between compared to what I suffered before. I am a believer.

Check your head bearing torque. Also, if your feeling some head shake above 70 try using Ride On in your tires.

I have never owned a Gold Wing trike or two wheeler without putting the Kuryakyn fork brace on it. It's relatively easy to install and strengthens the forks. I think it's probably more important on a raked trike.

Having said that, I agree with checking the steering head torque and if you don't have them yet, install tapered head bearings.
