    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey guys, eyeing this up on the net here...

Doesnt say for my model, but curious if it will fit, i see it has a bump to go over the mudguard. but my mudguard seems quite high in relation to the fork lowers, would be a nice little goodie though, thoughts?

my bike is an 82 gs 650.... picture included of my bike, i really wonder if it will fit over the mudguard, thoughts?

He has a BUNCH of GS model Tarozzi braces, i have one and its GREAT quality. dunno if he has one for the 650 tho. If he doesnt, shoot him an email, he may be able to get it, or if not, give you measurements of the 550 model and 750 models to see if maybe one of those would fit your bike. Guys name is Jim, and he's been great to work with for me.
 
If you fit a fork brace be sure of the correct alignment when you install it. Incorrect sequence when tightening the clamps can distort the fork tubes and its expensive to have them rerolled to straighten them and even more expensive if they need to be rechromed as fork chrome is not your normal chrome finish. A quality brace installed correctly does improve the front end, good luck, cheers.
