fork brace

[catbed]

any body know any good fork braces for an 83 gs850? it looks like the front fender is in the way, so it would have to curve a bit.

I don't know if this will help you at all, but when I purchased a fender off ebay, it came with a front fork brace that sits under the fender.
You can see it on this picture. At the moment I'm using just the brace and not the fender.

Maybe your model has the same option?

Just a thought

try www.ebay.co.uk I bought mine from there, dont forget, what ever the price is, double it for $$$ (plus shipping)

fork brace

I have an old telefix fork brace on my thou. Nice piece, thick cast aluminum. Allows use of stock fender. These are cream of the crop for the old GS's. They turn up on ebay from time to time but be prepared to fight for it.

They are few and far between, but do come up on ebay. Measure and know your fork diameter and distance of the forks center to center. Alot of times a brace will come up and the seller won't know what bike it's for, but will give some measurements.

Telefix still shows one for the 1000, but I'm not sure if yours is the same. Plus the guy in England is a richard head to deal with. I found a Daytona brace for mine. It almost fit over the stock fender, but had to slot the fender holes about 1/4":

Hey Bruce, that brace looks to mount to the forks rather than the ones you see that mount where the fender mounts are (which i dont have fender mounts anymore) Where did you find that as i am looking for one that mounts that way, and what diameter are your forks?

Thanks!

That guys sells those all the time, so if this one disappears, just wait around. There will be another. I'm currently using an NOS Daytona forkbrace. Looks nice, but I stole it off one of my other vintage bikes and it is not an exact fit (so, it kinda defeats the purpose). Considered buying one of these off eBay, but $99+shipping seems a bit rich to me.
