Generally referred to as a fork brace, Suzuki calls it "BRACE,FRONT FEN

I always got a kick out of the term "fork brace".
Like that flimsy piece of metal could ever brace the forks!  :icon_rolleyes:

A member on the board sells really nice, heavier fork brace.  They are a big improvement over stock fork braces, and they look good too.

I have a pile of stock ones if you want stock for postage. I can add one in with the fugley tail plastics I'm giving you for postage.
Did you need bolts or a fender?
You might make a list of parts. I have good prices.

Only thing I'm needing is that fork plate as the bike did not come with one, and a turn single flasher(and of course those tail plastic we talked about). I have the front fender, but cant put it on with out that plate (not sure why guy took that off)  other then those its ready for riding in April.

I was thinking if you could say put 2 or 3 braces together by placing them on top of each other to make it stronger. With longer bolts of course. Just an idea.
