possibly fast from the past.  measure your tube diameter, center to center and offset. if they dont list your bike you may be able to cross reference and find one to work

   Hi,
        I have a Telefix fork brace that fits the CB650c & also fits the 82' GL500;
it is adjustable for width and both bikes listed have 35mm fork tubes.
  I was getting ready to list it on ebay...do you want it ?

       It was used for 1 season and cared for responsibly- no stress.
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !
Do your BEST...nobody can take that away from you.

Thanks guys, I did some measuring & searching last night.

Forks are 37mm, mount area is 60mm on 192mm centers so fairly common going from a few companies sites.

Thanks grcamna2 but I think mine will be bigger in the mount having 37mm forks.
