My front had a LOT of stiction and would bind badly. I could barely move the forks. I took the Superbrace off and put the stock fender mount back on and now I have a working front end.
The Superbrace was on the bike when I bought it and fortunately, the PO left the stock one in the sidebag. The bike had headshake when I bought it. I adjusted the stem bearings and that is now gone. That aftermarket brace caused more problems than it was supposed to cure. I'm now going to fully rebuild the forks to repair any damage to the bushings done by the side load caused by the brace.
The front forks now move very freely and no binding/stiction. Now, on the rough freeway sections, I can see the forks moving and the ride is smooth.
