I cant remember which way it goes, I think the special/RH fork brace holes for the fork legs were the larger one. I have a fork brace but I lost one of the spacers to allow its use on a standard. I have just done a rather rushed relocation but if you are interested let me know.

Talking fork braces,  here's a top-quality one that was machined for the XS11 forks,  the cross-plate isn't with it because I used it on my FZR forks,   wouldn't take much to cut yourself out an appropriate cross-plate from a chunk of alloy or thin steel plate or similar,  you elongate the screw holes in your plate to get a bit of adjustability for a non-stress fit after bolting tight.    NZ $40 if anyone wants these

All yours fred, wife thinks a new engine, new riding gear, two new helmets and custom number plates are enough for now, and what does a for brace do anyway, well thats just silly.

:(

Wont see another one go that cheap, darn it.

I recently made enquiries about the TKAT braces from the states. Very good quality and the price quoted  was only US $105 shipped to me. The Special brace is the one for the RH.

  Just got to save my pennies up. Maybe a garage sale.......

Tame the elephant with this brand new Tarrozzi fork brace.

Does NOT fit on an RH. Will only fit the Standard.

$80 plus postage - same as I paid for it.
