    stock brace on mine is on the inside the fender so you really dont see it not sure if it is as strong though. if you decide to get rid of it let me know cause i really like the look

      Yes, that is an old style fork brace. Finding a new-style is a bit difficult for our bikes, unfortunately. The Telefix is the cadillac of braces.

        micron were far superior than telefix. much more ridgid and better fitting, maybe the ferrari of fork braces

        Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

          Plus another vote for Micron braces. Don't know if you can still buy them now. Maybe the Maserati of fork braces (like a Ferrari but a bit better.....well that was the case with the Merak SS )?

            The key to them all is "was". You may be able to find a used brace of some type on Fleabay. I found a used one for my KZ750, don't remember what brand it was.

                          What about Tarozzi?
                          I have heard the name around here a bit, and i am considering one.

                            That is what Toddk is pointing to.

                              So you are happy with this...?

                              Was installation difficult? I remember reading here that you have to put these on very precisely or else...

                              also, I am having trouble figuring out which part number pertains to an 82 1100EZ. Suppose I would have to call them
