Was digging through a misc. box of parts and found a Daytona fork brace with no use sharpied on it(my filing system) . Fit up right on the gs. Pretty happy that had to look in that box today. Phone isn't uploading with try a photo of it tonight.

I had an ATK fork brace on my bike when I bought it. What does it actually do? I understand it's designed to strengthen/ stabilize the fork, but what effect does it have on handling? -
Keeps our spindly forks from flexing. Long forks, small diameter. By cutting the distance that is supported in half, they are less apt to flex/bend...Current Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple:twistedevil:, 03 Kawasaki ZRX1200, 01 Honda GL1800, '15 Kawasaki 1000 Versys

Is that noticeable while riding? If so, in what maneuvers/ speeds etc? I took off my ATK fork brace that came with the bike because I thought it might be a problem but found out my tire pressure was 16psi too low so I'm thinking about putting it back on. My '80GS850G didn't have one and I rode it for over 20 years and never noticed any front end issues. In fact, it was more stable than my newly acquired GS1000G....Comment
