    Ohlins Front Forks - Fork Brace

    I'm interested in knowing if anyone who was using a fork brace on stock forks were able to use them on the Ohlins front forks.
    I had the Holeshot brace on my stocker but they do not snug up on the Ohlins forks. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
    My friends say I'm slow

    You need to use a brace designed for the 1100 forks.

    The Ohlins have a LOT more overlap and are tighter tolerance. You might not need a brace on them...they are stiffer by themselves than my stockers with a brace.

    The Ohlins really are sweet

    Dare I even ask..... where did you get your Ohlins forks and... *gulp* what did they set you back?

    I've got half a mind to go ape-tits on the suspension on my 'Rex.

    ohlins forks for the zrx are discontinued. when i snagged mine they ran around 2k, right before they were discontinued they ran close to 3k.

    btw, i no longer use the fork brace, the forks work better without bracing.

    Interested to hear that Seth, seeing as I've just lashed out for a K-Factory Fork brace......
