Title: SuperBrace on a 2000
Post by methom on 08/14/05 at 17:02:49

Has anyone put a SuperBrace fork stabilizer on a 2000? The catalog says the earliest year is a 2001, but I spoke to the guys at SuperBrace and they thought that it would fit a 2000. I have it on order and will see if it fits. They were very helpful and are looking for feedback, so if you've put the brace on earlier models, they'd like to hear about it.

Any pics of an installation on a 2000 or earlier would be much appreciated.

It's not a close-up, but I have it on my '98 and I highly recommend it.

Thanks...I'll shout if I have questions after it comes. Kyle at SuperBrace (I have his email address) really wanted to know if it fit other years so that they could update their catalog. Any other years out there, or is anyone an expert in fork dimensions on Savages to give SuperBrace some feedback?

Sweet picture, and thanks! Feel free to contact SuperBrace with stats regarding installation on pre-2001 bikes, or I'll compile a list and send it in.

It fits the above '95 - works well - haven't put one on the '02 but will soon.

This may be a dumb question but... what does this do for the bike? I'm not trying to down play it, I just never heard of it and it's benefits. thanks

if you go to their website you can read all about it, as well as several long postings here - it basicly locks the lower forks to gether that eliminates any independant movement of the fork tubes and "bowing" out , this among other things lessens front tire wabble on say rain groves, it makes the bike feel more sure footed.

8)That superbrace seems like "the cat's a$$" for sure! I'll bet that someone with a welder and some metalworking skills could come up with a "homemade" version that would both be asthetically pleasing and functional?!

A simple search of previous discussions turned up this thread (http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=RubberSideDown;action=display;num=1105496870), complete with explanations, links and photos.

l talked to them a while back about how far up in the years they will fit. My 05 has those dirt shields which would get in the way but I'm not sure they can just be removed. I sent them pics and they said they would consider it. My guess is they will work up to the year the shields were put on (03? 04? 05?)
