Tkat fork brace
« on: May 04, 2016, 12:10:11 PM »
Finally got my Tkat fork brace polished up and installed. What a precise piece of fine engineering. I have not rode with it yet. I sure wish I had changed my 1972 fork gators the last time I had the front apart. Rubber getting hard. Dan

Looking good! Brake hardware and fork legs look fantastic.

Yes.  He made one for me -- I sold it to a member when I replaced it with a more subtle Tarozzi.
