    Hi All, I just went to fit a Fork Brace to my 07 Deuce, the Brace fits the Left Hand Slider bit wont fit on the Right Hand Slider as it is Thicker. Is this normal or do I have the wrong Fork Brace.

    Thanks, Black Deuce 07

    Hi Black Deuce-
    I have an 07 Deuce ,but I upgraded brakes by using 03 SE deuce legs -twin discs & manged to find a screamin eagle factory brace which fits ok.
    Unfortunately I believe the fork brace is a discontinued line .
    Also the legs for 07 are different from earlier models as they have 25mm axle as opposed to earlier stuff which was 3/4.
    I don't think the fork seal area changed ,but I wouldn't swear to it.
    Cheers Wayco

    Thanks Waco but my right Hand Slider is thicker at the top of the Fork Slider where the  Fork Brace fits into the recessed section between the top of the Slider and where the chrome Cover sits over the Brace.

    I think it's normal what you have. The 2007 softails have some unique things with the forks. The wheel isn't dead center in the forks on a 2007 fatboy either, not that you'd ever realise it unless you looked carefully
