I've had a fork brace on my Commando (and on the Boxer) for years now,
but recently received advice from a reputable suspension guy to toss
it.
He cited not the added weight but the increased suspension binding
it induces under load, regardless of how well aligned/adjusted it
is initially. Better to have the tire on the road and sacrifice at
most a wee bit of additional rigidity than the other way around.
What's the collective wisdom around these parts?
