Fork Brace...what size? What source?

[Guest]

My 82 GS750T just had the fork springs replaced. During a recent dissasembly, and buffout of the fork bodies, I noticed that the forks are a little on the flimsy side. Meaning, vs a modern inverted fork design, there's a heck of a lot more flex. My last bike, an 82 Yamaha 750 Seca had a fork brace on it from the PO, and it was really rock solid. I'd like to add one to this "T", but haven't a clue as to the specs, and where to source a nice billet, prefab'd aluminum, or similar one.

Does anyone know what the fork diameters, or fork spacing or what spec is needed to order the correct brace, and a good parts source for said brace?

All help is really appreciated..

Yes it is, Bill.

Pete,

You'll need to provide the distance between the top part of the forks...I believe.

Of course my model is not listed in thier spreadsheet. Ed, do you remember which model # you got for your T?

Pete,

I don't have the invoice for reference. I looked at the fork brace and see the number 175 under the square part of the brace.


Ed

EDIT: call them and give the distance between top of forks. That's what I did and they sent me the correct brace.

I spoke with Jim Henshaw, at fastfromthepast.com and he looked up your purchase. He'll be sending me the identical brace. Thanks for all the help. I'll let you know when it arrives.

Great news Pete!

Wait, what? Ohhhh (How do they know my name?)

You have my mailing address. I was concerned about that. Glad I still show up on their order log.

Jim Henshaw races some really cool vintage bikes.

Scroll down through Dave Roper's blog until you see the Kawasaki H1.
