TELEFIX FORK BRACES

$129.95

The purpose of a fork brace is to eliminate flex by increasing the rigidity of your motorcycle's forks. The Telefix fork brace uses a patented adjustment design. This design is not only strong, but does not cause slider distortion like other styles of braces may cause.
The Telefix fork brace offers the perfect fit without the use of shims. Easily installed with a "built-in", not "added-on", look. With specially machined braces for over 220 models, we're sure to have one to suit your needs.
These braces are constructed of a light but superstrong aluminum alloy. Featuring a black powder coat finish for lasting beauty. (Go to Application Chart.)

Best of luck -- over the last several years, a few of us have tried to get Telefix braces from Spec II with no results.

I've called Spec II twice, credit card shined up and ready to order, and apparently the guy on the other end is completely insane. Within two sentences, he was screaming profanities into the phone about shipping costs from Germany and how many weeks it might take, and then he hung up. I gave him a couple of years to calm down and get some medication, but had the same results when I tried again.

A few others have tried as well with similar results -- unprovoked screaming, profanity, hang up.

Apparently, the guy either had an aneurysm or his charming style of personal service doesn't actually pay the bills.


Now then.... several of us are using Tarozzi fork braces, made in Italy, and they are very nice, high-quality pieces. And they are available without all the rage from a company called "Fast From The Past".

No they aren't! They actually work VERY well on all the Suzukis I have used them on. Is this ANOTHER case of you spouting again about something you've NEVER even tried? I ask because you seem to have a history with this problem. Ray.

And as I said in the other thread, I've had one on my bike for 27 years without having an issue. Install them by the instructions and they work very well.

This is their European website:

http://www.telefix-products.de/

And their English catalog:

From other bike forums it seems this guy goes nuts because he needs to ship 4 braces at a time from Europe. Or he's nuts.
