I can't either, no matter what browser or computer I use... they just look like little squares with a broken image in the middle. I normally just dismiss it when this happens but I am kinda glad to know now that I'm not the only one.  :embarassed:

The links give me a message saying that the owner does not allow access..... anyways, does the brace include new hardware?  :D

Try copy/pasting the link into a new tab - should work then.

Nerd note: The image host doesn't allow "hotlinking" and is trying to block access if the referrer URL doesn't match their own, so if it detects you came from GSTwin it'll block it - which is why copy/pasting should work.

hi Chuck, looks like you finally figured out the pictures.  I wanted to say thank you for your pm and putting up the pictures ect.  I will likely still need one of your covers somewhere down the line but I decided to postpone the purchase after i had an Epiphany and discovered that the LH engine cover on my DOHC honda 4s was of similar size and had a similar 3 bolt mount.  I had a couple in a bin of parts in the garage and low and behold the cover is the perfect diameter to fit the suzuki and the mounting pattern was only off my about 0.5 mm....so I drilled the holes slightly larger on the Honda cover to expand the bolt circle slightly...and bada bing bada boom she fits like a clove.  I cut a gasket for it and covered the Honda logo with the stock Suzuki adhesive logo....I think it looks good but more importantly it gets me back on the road which was very necessary since I pulled the m54 engine out of my e46 last weekend and have yet to get everything back together.

I wanted to post this little discovery here since you already wrote the CNC program for the suzuki parts it would be pretty easy to adjust to fit DOHC honda's and you would open up a new market for your part.  Better yet....engrave it with the RSC or HRC logo and I bet the fellas over at CB1100f.net would be interested.

Does the fork brace improve handling? Can someone who has installed it provide a review?

Chuck was very easy to deal with, super fast shipping, and the parts were very high quality and exactly as described. Wouldnt hesitate to do business with him again.

So how much for a brace? Shipped to zip 93926 or 95112. Whatever is easiest :)

Some zip codes are so hard to ship to.   :icon_mrgreen:

FYI, the pricing is in the very first post.

95112 is a major city, shouldn't be an issue!
