    Fork Brace $45 Shipped to US

    This came off my xs1100 81 special. The bike was destroyed in the Sandy Hurricane. I was hoping to find another 81 it won't fit anything I have.
    I will ship it anywhere in the US If interested PM me.

    It should fit the Venturer with just some extra fender clearance.

      Hi Greg,
      The Venturer has Standard forks which I think are slightly bigger ?
      I thought all Specials had the same forks ?
      As Gordon has a Venturer and says it does not fit anything other than 81 Special....I am intrigued.

        As far as I know the dimensions for mounting the brace are the same, the Special just requires more clearance for the fender.

        I could be wrong though. Crazy Steve might know for sure.

          Will it fit a 79 special? If so, I will buy it.

            The Standard fork legs are slightly larger at the top where the fork brace mounts. A brace for the Standard will not fit the Special fork legs, and vice versa.

              I happen to know for sure all special forks are the same. It'll fit your SF.
