Superbrace Mod for ABS model? Pics?

[Joe Nardy]

I have an '04 FJR ABS with a Superbrace fork brace. I just found out on another thread (link) that some Superbraces did not have a cut out for use on the ABS models and can contact the brake junction. I have a leak at the junction presumably from contact with the Superbrace (can feel contact damage on Superbrace) which I will be looking into this weekend. I would like to keep the Superbrace but don't want to risk future brake problems. Has anyone modded their Superbrace to allow clearance for the brake junction? If so, could you please post a pic of the mod?

Thanks,

Joe

It ain't a matter of removing material, they are different designs.

I believe I saw pics (way back in time) of braces that had been filed out in the area where the brake junction would be hitting.

I would be very grateful to anyone who could post pics. The contact area is very minor, it looks like just the leading edge of the bolt contacted the brace. Of course, I don't know how much the junction bent so the contact could have been more severe than I think. I will have the forks off and can take a better look this weekend.

Thanks,

Joe
