        I have one of them that turned up attached to a set of L forks which I've never used. I just went to have a look at it, and can find no maker's mark on that one, either. The brace itself is familiar to me from many adverts relating to them 40 years ago, but the name escapes me.
        From what I read at the time, it's one of the better fork braces, and I'll be fitting it soon.

        <edit>
        On closer look - it's a TELEFIX!

              SS brake lines arrived yesterday...ordered the Sonic fork springs last night (thanks Rich for your help)...Put one of my "Old School" stickers on the tail piece...love it! I can't wait for better weather so that I can go for a serious ride.









              Oh and I remembered I had a plate holder from back in the day. Mike's Motorcycles was the shop I bought this bike from brand new back in the spring of 84...he went out of business I believe in the late 80s or early 90s....I have great memories as a teen hanging out in his shop. Unfortunately Mike passed away from Cancer some years ago...he was the reason there were so many Suzukis on the road in Woodstock back then. Thrilled to have his plate cover on my bike.

                      I think you're well on your way to recovery.

                        Lol...thanks...well somedays are better than others for sure. Going to my Aqua Therapy with my kinesiologist this morning and then physio in the afternoon.
                        I really enjoy the aqua therapy...and the hot tub.

                            Did some mod/upgrades to my 83 over the last few weeks....had the rims powder coated semi-gloss black...I just think black rims look way cooler than the stock ones...especially with a black engine.
                            New chain and sprockets and a new clutch and had a buddy fix up the yoshi and ceramic coated as well......carbs still need fine tuning.
