Best fork brace for '82 GS1100GK?

[LarryJ]

Hi guys1

I still haven't posted pix of the GK (Miss Terry) or the Yamaha XS750 (Loretta) yet.

However, I am making good progress on Miss Terry. Got a starter of ebay to replace the original with a bad winding. Got carb boot O-rings, cleaned the carbs & replaced the crumbling air filter element to get rid of the erratic idle & lean spots. Also have an airbox rubber inlet "snorkle" on order to replace the missing one to get the intake back to original configuration.

Putting the carbs back on & checking the valve clearances.

Now, starting to look for future improvements. One of the key items of handling improvement on the Yam XS (another UJM) is a fork brace, especially when you add a fairing & other touring items, putting more load on the suspension.

So, the GK suspension load is right up there too. A good fork brace will help this bike track better through corner.

What's a good choice on a fork brace & where can I get one?

Thanks

Hi,

I use a Tarozzi brace. Got it from fastfromthepast.com.

Thank you for your indulgence,

You really shouldn't need one. The GK has 41mm forks tubles unless they have been replaced..
