Can anyone tell me if the TKAT fork brace has any identifying marks or nomenclature? I have one I'm going to sell that came off a 80 Special, (looks exactly like the pics I've seen of a TKAT) but I don't want to claim it's something it's not.

Look like Special in his ad? The bottom of the cross member should be an raised 8 looking structure. Other than that no markings that i know of but should look like this:

If the machining in the aluminum looks same and bottom has that pattern i think you'd be safe in calling it a TKAT. There are NO Markings on my TKAT that i can see.

Fork brace for Standard and Special are also different diamaters where they mount on lower fork leg.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.
