    what brand of fork brace is this?

    I bent my forks hitting a deer in late 2013, and needed another stanchion tube. I saw these 750 forks on eBay with "lower clamp included" & almost no rust, SOLD! So now I have this nice looking nameless 185mm/35mm fork brace. Any idea who makes it? Polished Aluminum like a Micron (but different center design), not a Tarozzi or Telefix. ATK??

    It's not a Micron that's for sure. Could be an Eagle or Impulse.

        It's a bit oxidized, but will polish back up to a show finish pretty easily with some Mother's Mag&Aluminum polish & a buffing wheel.

            Sure looks like an ATK, or a decent imitation of one. Just missing the sticker.

            I say polish it up and run it!

              You could safely call it an "IDK" brace.

              You just don't have to tell them it stands for "I Don't Know".

                That's the plan! Except that I have 78 GS750 triples & Tarozzi brace that are 175mm spacing & this is a 185! My 110/90-18 barely clears the 175's & I cant fit a fender in there as is, so i need to find a 185x35 triple with the offset for straight leg forks.

                I picked up some GS1000 forks for a GS750 we're building for my buddy & realized at the junkyard that several of the 1980's gs1100 triples were aluminum upper & lower, for the standard non-leading axle fork legs. The one I grabbed said 1980 GS1000 with a 1 through the first zero, so I'm not sure if it was a 1000 or 1100 (guessing 1100).
                What I'm really hoping is that I can find an all aluminum lower triple from a 750, but I'm not sure if they exist. Hardened steel steering stem, of course, but cast aluminum lower triple. Anyone have an idea on if what I'm looking for exists?
