  • Need Fork Braces!

    Looking for 1, maybe 2, fork braces.
    PM me if you have a used one of any type to sell.
    Thought I would check before I buy a couple new ones.

    Scroll through this thread. You'll see a member who makes 'em and sells 'em. Putting your engine guard in the mail tomorrow morning by the way.

      I planned on picking up a couple from TKAT if nobody has any they need to let go of.

        TKat Fork Braces

        Anyone know if he is still making the braces?
        The website is down.

        I can probably have some made by a machinist friend if I had the prints or at least the measurements.

        If TKat is no longer doing them, I may be able to get a good deal on having some made by the local trade school I have contacts with. The students need projects to polish their skills!

            As far as I know he is still doing them. I can ask on the mailing list, as he is still active on there. I know he gets busy with life and stuff so it might just be for other reasons that the web site is down.
