Fork brace?

[trevor]

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.

Been several discussions on this before, but the Terozzi fork brace is what I put on my GS700E. I'm satisfied with it. There was even a "group buy" a few years ago so several members have them on their bikes. Does a fork brace make a difference? Some say yes, some say no. More of one's preference.

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.
