When the front fender is removed from the stock forks it may look good but you end up with a “flexy flyer” that twists and sways more than a drunken sailor. The RSD fork braces allow you to get rid of the front fender without losing the integrity of the suspension and bring the performance back by keeping your front wheel going in the direction you point it. They are manufactured from 3/16" 1018 steel and eliminate fork twist and increase rigidity from stock while looking damn good.
