Re: [St] Fork Stabiliser?

["Joel Ashman" <ashmite@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the dirt bike world, they come recommended. My CRF-230 is one bike that
'benefit's from the brace if you keep the stock front end.  The skinnier
tubes have some flex and play in them and the brace is supposed to do as
Pete suggested.  I can't speak to street or track riding.

I'm quite sure they only work with traditional forks and not the upside down
forks.
