Fork brace...

[Sunny Jim]

Apart from the flimsy brace holding the front mudguard on a '91 GS, does anybody know if there's an aftermarket brace available ?

Jim,

Toaster Tan make one but it isn't cheap http://www.bmwboxersupplies.com/toastertan-forkbrace-1988-p-401.html

Thanks for the link Rob - very much appreciated. (It actually looks too well machined for the old shed - would be more appreciated on top of my tele!)

Admitedly not as pretty as the Toaster Tan one, FlatRacer do one, they do it with or without mudguard brackets (I believe). It's much stronger than it looks, I've got one on my project track bike. I've got a few FlatRacer parts on the bike and the service is excellent.

That doesn't fit the paralever forks.

Such is life...

San Jose BMW used to have them, at less than half the price of the Toaster Tan one.

Might still have one lying around if you ask nicely.
