Improve your highway and offroad steering and stability with our XR650L front fork brace. It completely changes the character of your suspension for the better.

Machined from solid 6061 aluminum billet stock and black anodized, our XR650L (all years) fork brace offers improved torsional stiffness over competing products, while keeping a low profile / slim appearance. We do this by using a total of 8 clamping bolts instead of the more common 4, plus 6 internal retaining bolts in a V pattern on each side. This allows us to offer a tall bridge between tube clamps, which means you can run knobbier / taller tires. We also include drain slots under each boot, so that water and mud can drain out.

The top of the “bridge” includes threaded holes in case you want to install your fender on the brace instead of at the top of the forks (some customers who ride more on the road like this because the lower fender is not buffeted by side winds as much).

The 8 bolts minimize the potential twist and flex between the tubes.

From our torture tester’s report (a customer who helps us beat up our products):

“The fork brace is holding up well. Using the Hemisphere Offroad XR650L fork brace, the front end is strong and you can instantly feel the difference in performance on the front forks. I am a wheelie machine and this brace is a game changer when that front wheel comes down. And not to mention the improved support it gets while in the twisties and hitting potholes.”

Another customer says it “fixed the death wobble”.

Customer Levi K. says “I use the Fork Brace, and I love it for the riding I do. I'd describe it as commuting with weekend off-road adventures. I find the brace immensely helpful at highway speeds as it reduced speed wobble, and I find it imperative in rougher off-road conditions as when going through rocks and ruts having the forks not flex give the XR another level of control.”

Customer Todd I. says “What I like about my Hemisphere Offroad fork brace is the stability it gives my front forks. I ride 50/50 on and off-road and I noticed a “BIG DIFFERENCE” in the way my bike handles on both.”
