Here is the completed video I did for SuperBrace showing the installation on a Kawasaki Voyager. A big thank you to Mart656 for riding his bike to Dallas and letting me do the installation on his bike!

Re: Installation Video - SuperBrace fork stabilizer
Thanks Cruiseman! I moved this topic to the XII Tech Tips forum. By the way, I noticed you said a torque wrench was required for installation but you didn't use one in the video!
May I have your permission to post the video in the Tech Center on the AVA Website?

Re: Installation Video - SuperBrace fork stabilizer
....since Ron brought to question the accuracy of the use/non-use of a torque wrench..... another point before this video is widely distributed is that the 4 "bolts" holding the stock brace in place are
10 mm bolts,.... they are 8mm bolts that are REMOVED using a 10 mm socket or wrench,the size of the tool that turns a fastener is NOT the size of the fastener, just sayin

Re: Installation Video - SuperBrace fork stabilizer
The Thanks goes to you Cruiseman. Great job shooting the video. Kinda ashamed my baby had them stinking grasshoppers splattered on her. I appreciate the installation of the superbrace. 
I have not had the chance to ride the bike much since you installed it but I can tell you that I do notice a difference on the turn that I take to get into my driveway. I will give you an update as soon as I can ride a little more but the cold and work will keep me away from it for a few days.

Re: Installation Video - SuperBrace fork stabilizer
Did it matter if the Superbrace logo faced the front or rear of the bike when installing it?

Re: Installation Video - SuperBrace fork stabilizer
Question / comment: I try to use blue lock tight on all bolts (just a little drop). Should you use it in this application? Second some where there is a post about crush washer, I was thinking they are located under this brace? If so how do you tell if they need to be replaced?
Thanks,
Don W
