    Fork brace, oooo i want, but will it fit?

    Hey guys, eyeing this up on the net here...

    Doesnt say for my model, but curious if it will fit, i see it has a bump to go over the mudguard. but my mudguard seems quite high in relation to the fork lowers, would be a nice little goodie though, thoughts?

    my bike is an 82 gs 650.... picture included of my bike, i really wonder if it will fit over the mudguard, thoughts?

    He has a BUNCH of GS model Tarozzi braces, i have one and its GREAT quality. dunno if he has one for the 650 tho. If he doesnt, shoot him an email, he may be able to get it, or if not, give you measurements of the 550 model and 750 models to see if maybe one of those would fit your bike. Guys name is Jim, and he's been great to work with for me.

        If you fit a fork brace be sure of the correct alignment when you install it. Incorrect sequence when tightening the clamps can distort the fork tubes and its expensive to have them rerolled to straighten them and even more expensive if they need to be rechromed as fork chrome is not your normal chrome finish. A quality brace installed correctly does improve the front end, good luck, cheers.

          Hey cheers dude, but only reason i have considered it is because it has popped up for sale here.

          I'm not going to get one from overseas or anything. too much hassle haha.

          He wants $80 for it.

          So like ermmm $60 american.

          might have to do some measuring me thinks :P
