I don't think they are worthwhile.

What problem you having that makes you want one?

Fork braces are popular in the states mainly for Harleys, as they tend to suffer from flex, often being long and relatively spindly. I think early Jap sports bike also benefited from a fork brace, but modern bikes don't appear to need them.

Plus there is two discs on the front, so no massive bending effect when braking.

Would be worth seeing if a bandit one would fit... - probably unliekly

just finished overhauling my suspension and thought if i could get one at a decent price id give one a go and see if it made any differance

Some people on SVRider do reckon they make a difference. But the braces they sold there were about $150 which is enough to fund a complete front end swap so it just seems a bit mad to me.

Difference is small, but noticeable. The money is better put towards decent fork internals or a fork swap which will make an even bigger difference.
