    NEW TKAT Fork Brace

    I took the advice of you guys about the TKAT fork brace. Spoke to him a few weeks back and ordered one. Got it the other day and just installed it on the 79 Special.


    What a nice piece this is! Thumbs up to TKAT! I don't believe Yamaha could have done better.

    Fits like a glove, takes very little time to install, and I am sure that it will function as good as it looks.

    Here are a few pix. Enjoy. MP

                                      We're lucky or savvy. Or a little of both. Hope you have enough of both to get old. CZ

                                              I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up. I really do seem to lose about 20 years every time I get out on the bike

                                                      Glad to hear another happy rider.......even happier after riding with the brace. Definitely noticeable handleing difference. Stops the flexing of forks caused from the gyro effect with wheel rotating off axis. No other support there cept for the slider guides, and they among the unobtanium for these ole' spindle legged Showia's.
