fork brace
« on: September 15, 2023, 07:19:58 AM »

 i have a cb750k4 and i have installed lower fork leg of a 750f to be able to install calipers and rotors from a vfr750 1995.But now i would like to install a fork brace that would allow me to also install fork gator just like my k4 had before.Does this fork brace exist!?

bert, I think you can use the fork brace for the 750f.  It will have the correct lip to attach the short dust boots.  I am about 80 percent sure that this lip will engage the earlier gators just the same.

ok, I just compared a Tarozzi fork brace to K1 forks and the lip is the same

lol, not often that I have parts in question in the same location as internet access.

Also, Tarrozi part number for sohc 750f 1975-6 is 22-0037  apparently nla, at least from Fast From the Past.  There may be a different part number that still fits and functions for say...750F 77/78 or cb550.  I dunno...
