[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1075681, member: 434"] You don't remember what the SuperBrace people said while they were at Park City? It was a popular conversation there. ABS bikes in those years have a coupler in the front that *could* strike the FJR if you dive on the brakes or hit a pothole so that forks reach full extension. I had it happen on my 2005 ABS bike after racing Dick Fish on the Playa in Gerlach as I bottomed out on a bump that just about blew the forks. We're talking a SERIOUS hit! It jarred loose stuff on my dash. The brakes leaked about 1000 miles later at a stop light when I was squeezing the front brake EXTRA hard. There was a little ding in the brace--that's there to this day. However, I swapped out my brake lines to Galfers and the coupler was a unit that doesn't hit the brace. The newer design is more of a gull wing design to ensure clearance on stock ABS FJRs for those years. Or the alternative is to notch out your existing one. [/QUOTE]
