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.

Does anybody out there know of a manufacturer that makes a fork brace for a 78 GS750

Cheers Phil 8O
 
Phil, I think that your best bet is to watch Ebay. http://www.ebay.com
for any fork braces. Run a search on ebay for fork + brace and something will popup.

Thanks John.

I have been watching auctions, motorcycle forums, everywhere to try and find a Telefix fork brace.
Just cannot find one.

Patience, folks!

Be patient with eBay. It took me months to find a set of braided brake lines for my bike. I finally found one a few weeks ago, and I'm very happy with this item. If you must have something "now", eBay is a lousy place to go.

Same thing with my carbs and tracy streetfightger fairing--i looked for a few monthe for the carbs and over a year for the fairing--the fairing is brabn new and the carbs are cherry with less than 6K miles on them--eventually everything shows up on ebay--i missed the chromed sissy bar and the engine that Josh bought because of $$ available at the time
 
Micron make one, but easiest is to find a forkbrace by them that fits somethign with the same diameter legs and just making up a new middle bit, its only a piece of alloy with 4 holes in it to bolt to the leg attachments...
Best popping round the local dingy bike breakers, theyre bound to have something like that...
 
Hi MrFluffy.

I have been looking for something to fit for months now.
Somebody must be sitting on a stockpile of GS fork braces.

weird!

weird!

I actually had one of these when I had gs sliders on my bike!
Didnt realize it was a generic, I got it secondhand from a mate...
Yeppers it fitted well, but on top of the seal dust covers, but then they all do pretty much dont they..

fork brace

fork brace

I bought one of the forged ones someone posted the link to. Got it off ebay and it was supposed to fit my GS1100E. It didn't, but it was so cheap ($21) that I didn't bother returning it. I ended up ordering a Telefix. I of course did not want to spend $129, but I'll get over that. The think mounts very easily (about 5 minutes), looks decent and the difference in handling is well worth it. My bike actually handled pretty well, but this got rid of the slight shimmy under deceleration, it handles lighter at low speeds and seems more stable in curves - hold a line better.

5,000 miles since April 1st and I haven't even really gone anywhere.

Are Telefix still around, I thought they had gone as I could not find anybody here in the UK that could sell me one.
Anybody know how to get hold of Telefix direct?.
