Nah, all mine read when sitting on it  ;D If you're standing looking at the side of the bike it will read upside down your way ?. And it's going backwards down the road.... ha ha ha |

Depends which side yer standing Dunit........ Not really, I was referring to viewing the bike whilst standing at the side(say in-line with a side panel) at which point the wording would be upside down and it would obviously be exactly the same from either side . I do know for a fact that KTM's that are fitted with factory fork braces engraved with "KTM" read the right way up when sitting on the bike. But I've seen others "upside down" ha ha ha I guess if the brace can be fitted either way around it don't matter really, just down to personal preference. |

I got asked the same thing when I first brought my brace.....I replied with I did'nt no that there was a "brace Police" to deal with. You'd best get the "Green Bolt and Decal Police" in first as they're gonig to have a f**king field day with my piece of shit. |

Post is right. If I had one I would go out and check right now, and make sure it read from standing in front of the bike. Personal preference...

Yeah it is personal preference but who's gonna tell KTM all their fork braces are on upside down from the factory ? ;D ;D ;D

Surely fairings decals would be upside down if they weren't the way they were. Can't compare horizontal and vertical together. Fork braces should be read from the riding position.

Think I've solved it after 10 Pints of cider. Bottom of letters should be closer to the ground than the top.

do these fork braces actually give any possessive effects on the handling of the bike?

Just put yours on which way round you prefer. If KTM's are the other way around from the factory then that way can't be "wrong" And obviously they don't stop rearward flex, , but they will reduce twist, especially on a single disc brake setup  |

Surely the wording can't be read when riding on the bike...................Unless your going over the bars and at that point i won't be wondering which way the wording is!!!!!!!!!!!!
