The only braces I know of still being made are the T-kat fork braces, I've got one as do many others and they are very nice. Just google T-kat fork brace and you should find it. Other then that your options are on e-bay.
BTW T-Kat is a very nice guy, I met him at a rally, and he actually gave me a brace because I didn't have the cash to buy one at the time and told me to send him a check when I got home - how many folks do you know that would do that?1979 xs1100 Special -

Yep, the TKAT brace is the way to go. Less than $100 each, shipped. It comes as bare machined aluminum, so you can paint it if you like.1980 XS850SG - Sold

I just recently got mine from Tkat and he and the brace were first class. He even sent me two because I have a XJ1100 and he wasn't sure which would fit better (hadn't done one for a XJ1100 in a while). Here is a pic of mine after I got it polished, looks pretty damn good. Thanks.
