          I'll try and get over to his shop next week for you. I'll see if he has a brace left someplace. Do you have a standard or a special?

                  Sorry Garth, It's gone.

                  I'll keep an eye out for one though.

                  Cheers,

                    Garth,
                    Send TKat another email, and put "fork brace" in the subject line. He has TWO left for the XS1100 STANDARD, and that's what you need. He is waiting to hear from you!!

                      Special Version?

                      I emailed Tkat a month or so ago about a fork brace for an 81 Special. He got back to me and mentioned that he was out of them. Any idea when he might be doing another run?

                      Thanks,

                        Jesse,
                        I think it may be just after Christmas. That is when his "normal" work slows down a bit. He DID say he was going to start another run sometime soon...

                          Awesome, not like it's a huge rush or anything since it's not the best riding season er' anything, but I was just curious. Now I'm all stoked. Thanks for the info man.

                            too rich for my blood

                            Well I just bid on the TKAT on eBay. I bid it up to what it would cost new (with shipping) from TKAT. I think I'll just wait for a shiny new one now. The leading bidder is named garth.....hmm.
