    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Looking for a fork brace for my 1980 gs 750e. Any thoughts or recomendations would be appreciated. Do they make a big difference? Thoughts on brands? Costs?
Thanks guys...:)
 
I replaced the stock springs with Progressive Suspension springs on my skinny 35mm forks of my '79 70E many years ago and even with the 1100 motor in the frame,
I have never had a need or desire to either increase the size of the fork tubes or add a brace and I never ride at posted speed suggestions.
The bike handles fantastic even 2-up with spirited riding.

once fitted, you will wonder why you have never fitted one before. any make you can get except telefix which are dangerous will do
 
I, too, use a Tarozzi fork brace on my '78 550 (35mm fork tubes with Progressive springs, modern tires). It does provide noticeably more precise steering, especially over rough surfaces.
