Just found out that returning the SuperBrace from The Netherlands costs 20,- USD and takes more than 2 weeks :evil: Shipping from the States to The Netherlands costs 5,- USD and arrival within 3 days, what a pain....

Yesterday, I compared the mechancal dimensions of my SuperBrace with the one of our Dutch Blackbird Owners Club chairman (Helvet). There was indeed a difference in hole diameter. I measured my SuperBrace on 63.4mm and his on 62.8mm. As the fork diameter is less than 63.2mm, the cause of the problem is obvious. The help and response of SuperBrace was very good. Scott@SuperBrace offered to have it replaced. This Monday, the SuperBrace will be returned and a new one will be sent back

Thanks Warchild! Yes, I purchased it through the group buy. I have contacted Superbrace also about this issue.

Hi guys, Thanks for the update. I took some pictures as asked by Warchild, hope this explains the situation: I did some measurements and I found that the diameter of the Superbrace holes is 63.4mm. The diameter of the front fork is however 63mm, see pictures below. I guess that I've got the "Monday Morning" model as they say over here.... :roll:

If you like to see the difference of the original, the VFR bar and the Variobar of Gilles Tooling, visit this site where I made some comparisons : http://bb.superblackbird.info/viewtopic.php?t=95

Hi all, I need some help on this one. Just installed the Superbrace on my Bird, model 2001. All fits perfect but, I noticed that there is no clamp force between both plates of the Superbrace and the front forks :roll: I checked both plates of the Superbrace if there is some dirt in between but nothing to be found. Initially I had the impression that the Superbrace fitted quit tight but when I tried to move the Superbrace a bit upwards, I noticed that I can move it upwards! You have to pay close attention to this to notice it. Question I have, is this normal, I find it rather strange and I expected something that fits very firm.... Are there any others who noticed the same, or can you check if you have the same "problem"?

Hi Northman, Thanks for the update. Question is part of the Topic Helvet is also working on.

Got some answers already, see http://cbr.geckobox.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17065

When comparing the US specification with the European specification, the Haynes manual says that the Turn Signal Light Bulb is a 32/3 cp x 2 (Front) and a 32 cp x2 (Rear). It is however not clear to me how many Watt's this is :???: . Can someone help me on this one.
