I got my bike to the Dealer for repair of the leaky shock. (thanks for all the advice on that). The service manager said he is not a fan of the front fork brace (KURY). And that it may even cause or contribute to the leaky shocks.

Has anyone run into this or have opinions?? thanks in advance.

Well, Superbrace is a vendor in this forum so it will be interesting to hear their response.

Don't know how a fork brace could contribute to causing shock leaks but, they can sure do so to fork seals.

If Honda uses a fork brace as original equipment (and has since 1984) I doubt that an aftermarket brace is the culprit. Flex is the enemy of seals and fork tubes, and braces reduce or eliminate fork flex.

Sometimes if the brace doesn't fit exactly right or the person that put it on tweaks the forks a little it can the forks to be in a bind and that might cause a leak,
