Comparing my race bike vs. street bike yields a lot of clues about a lot of things.One thing I've noticed is that the street-bike tends to be softer and more noodly. But neither has fork-brace other than factory bracket for fender.
The race-bike is solid-feeling at maximum-braking from 100mph. And its turn-in at 100mph is precise and smooth. I'm not sure a fork-brace would do much for it.
The difference? I suspect soft factory fork-springs and damping allows too much movement while cornering with my 85kg mass! First step I'd do is replace the factory oil with 10-15wt and add some preload to spring. That alone should keep the mid-turn wobbles at bay. It's not that fork-blades are moving unevenly, they both just move too much for my weight under spirited riding.
