So therefore a worthless piece of bling is a legitimate stand-in? Fork braces aren't needed on road bikes with properly-sized fork tubes. Even the adventure applications it's gratuitous aside from those who really do ride across the world on moonscape "roads". 20+ years ago suspension was poor and a brace sometimes helped, or at least it gave the consumer the warm comfort of "have brace, I'm good" when in reality it made no improvement. Remember those thin aluminum sheets on many a Yamaha?

If you want a brace, get a real one. One of their existing product line may in fact work with little to no modification.
 
why though? 41mm forks are pretty beefy for a bike of this class. Worse, the screws are located in the worst possible location and orientation if the intent was to resist twisting/bending/spreading. The Superbrace guys know what they're doing. This outfit is just making random shiny bits.
