TKAT Fork Braces are no longer available?

It looks like a clone is still available though:

That's correct, the TKAT fork brace NLA.

TKAT had a great Product (for both Standards & Specials) and great Service.
I heard from TKAT last week that he's Retired. Closed the Shop and sold the machines. Good for him. Retired! We wish him well in retirement.

Dime City Cycles carries Tarozzi fork braces but currently isn't stocking them for the xs11. But hopefully they will stock the brace for at least the XS11 Standard soon. Price point seems to be about $110. I'm not sure if Tarozzi makes a fork brace for the Special so that's something we need to check out. btw: the Tarozzi braces are stamped, not milled. I think they are flat black and not shiny like that polished FlatTech Racing brace. I'm not sure I want to pay extra for shiny. Or pay for shiny when my bike is usually filthy from riding it often.

Dang glad I got mine a few months back. I know when I did they said they only had a few left but did not hear they were quitting business.

Tarozzi makes a brace for the XS1100 Sport. It fits the Special.

Hey folks,

Thanks for the info/update. I updated the Parts by members forum advert to reflect this info and the alternatives offered/shown here.

Hi T.C.-

That "Ian Leckett" on the FB forum said he's in contact with that company and will seek a "Special" fork brace to be made by them as well.

So they just turned into kryptonite hu😂I'm glad he decided to retire.

I think I still have one extra left over for a Special - let me see if I can lay my hands on it in the garage and I may be able to put some extra Christmas money in my wallet apparently

I didn't know they would be an investment! (I think that's what I always told SWMBO about all my XS11 purchases!)

I have the Tarozzi on mine. It made a world of difference!

wow..

congrats on retirement!!

but i am pleased i got braces on both my bikes in the last few years from him.

Any (good) brace will help the xs11 forks.

Alot has changed in the last 30 years with road conditions and tire compounds.

We are able to ride faster and more comfortably then they designed for back in the 70's. not saying it was a poor design, just that we do more now days..

sad that they are no longer available...
TKAT made an Excellent brace!

i've had 3 now and never regretted it.
