Possible new fork brace source Take a look
02/15/06 at 17:33:55
I am currently working with a machinist who makes real nice braces for the Yamaha XS650
I sent him all the dimensions and he will see if he can make them for us LS650 owners. The more emails he gets, the greater the odds of him producing them. So ... email
tkat@tkat.com
Let him know you heard it from me.

That's really cool. I ran into this guy on a vintage dirtbike forum and was considering contacting him about making up Suzuki fork braces. Guess you beat me to it

Would one have to remove the plastic fork guards to install a fork brace?

What plastic fork guards?
Ahhhh, I see. I just looked at the 2005 S40 fork assembly on the fiche and noticed they have one. The 1998 Savage doesn't. I added the stainless fork protectors to my Superbrace.

That brace is very nice ... and I might be interested in getting one if the price was right (meaning lower than the rather expensive
Superbrace
)

I emailed the guy and told him I would be up for one of the fork braces if he decided to make a production run.
If we have enough people email him we might be able to get them at a really good price....so let's make it happen!!
OK? OK!

I'll email him. I'd be interested, too. Sounds like a great opportunity to me. Wonder what price range he's thinking?

He knows we are looking for a deal, I doubt 50 bucks will get it done. Take a look at the pic, they are very nice. The M O R E emails he gets from our group, the better the odds, so - email away and let other members know about this.
My two cents ...

I will email him too. It would be nice to know if he could see and feel a bike before he makes 'em as opposed to just going by measurements.
How much does he charge for his Yamaha ones?
It would be great if he would build some stylish forward controls kits too! (wishful thinkin'...)

Not so wishful. I think he could make forward controls easily with his CNC machine. That's one part in the aftermarket that is waaay expensive. Good idea.
