I have the modified super brace that is the first modification that was arced out in the back (not the gull wing). I got this after having problems with the first brace striking the banjo bolt. Recently I was on a ride and had an open stretch so I decided to practice a panic stop. All went well on my first stop, but on the next attempt my front brake went all the way down to the handle and brake fluid sprayed up on to my wind shield!. I was 30 miles from home and was able to down-shift the bike home I had just enough braking to bring it to a stop if I wasn't going to fast. The Super Brace struck the Spiegler line at the joint and un-cranked the screw. Fortunately the steel braided line was not damaged. My Spiegler lines are tilted back at a 45 degree, but can't tilt back any further because the length of the lines is insufficient.
My question is can I be assured that if I purchase the new gull wing Super Brace will it eliminate the possibility of this occurring again. I'll take brakes any day over improved performance. My old brace is on my desk awaiting its return to its maker.
Thanks. Uncle Curly
