Has any one used a fork brace from Fast From the Past? I need one for a 82 1100E and the listing is for a 82-84 gsx1100 european spec. I am assuming the forks are the same and It would work.

It's the same bike, give or take a few styling differences, so it'll fit fine.
Never tried one of theirs though.
edit: I see it's a Tarozzi - they're a good design.Last edited by hampshirehog; 12-17-2014, 03:14 PM.79 GS1000S

I'm always looking to spend money on my 82 1100E, so I'm curious about what problem you're addressing, or what differences/improvements you expect to see with the installation of fork braces.Originally posted by limeex2 View Post

One of the best bangs you can get for your bucks Rob. Tightens the front end right up and you lose the twisting effect and twitch when you hit a bump while leaned over, especially on long sweeping (and fast) bends.Originally posted by Rob S. View Post79 GS1000S

Bonanzadave, I have been trying load pictures but I am seriously computer challenged. The 1100E I am working on now is like my ex-racebike,which was a former 1000S turned into a franken roadracer.Been sitting in the garage since '83 after I put a rod through the crankcase.Was going to sell it along with a ton of spares and one of stuff. Just couldnt see some squid on ebay getting cool stuff! Found this forum and have been getting advise and more parts to upgrade the 1100E. The ZRX is next.What I learn from this build, I will duplicate or improve on the 1100ES build. If I dont pass away before getting all this done,I may try resurrecting the 1000S.I have most of the good stuff....
To answer to why I need fork brace,I am trying to remove what feels like a hinge that is in the middle of the bike.Current Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple:twistedevil:, 03 Kawasaki ZRX1200, 01 Honda GL1800, '15 Kawasaki 1000 Versys

I got the same hinge ! Tried most everything. Fork braced helped marginally. I would look into some GSX-R forks....or just SLOW down.Originally posted by limeex2 View Post82 1100 EZ (red)

I have removed a lot of weight.Will also be bracing the frame like the old Yosh bikes plus a few more.Did it to the GS1000 and it helped a lot.Current Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple:twistedevil:, 03 Kawasaki ZRX1200, 01 Honda GL1800, '15 Kawasaki 1000 Versys

Forks Stabilizer
I purchased one on your recommendation Bill. Made sure to use a HF digital caliper and gave the numbers to the gentleman taking my order. There's pics in one of my threads....Originally posted by mrbill5491 View Post
