thought somebody might be intrested, and whats the purpose of this.

That is going to get up there in price..... It is used to keep the forks true while is harsh riding conditions.

oh i figured somthin close to that just wasnt positive what it was for.

There were a couple that sold recently for the 200x and 250R between 50 and 65 bucks. Thats all they went for.

BTW they were NOS in the box!!!

[Macs]

Wow, i have never seen a nos one, yet i have never paid much attention either.

Is that freakfix's stuff?

[Xfile]

I won an NOS nasa brace on ebay still in the original box for 83-85 200x. I only paid $50 for it. It also fits the 86-87 200x but I'm sure it won't fit a 350x.

Is that freakfix's stuff?

Yes it is .........

[SYKO]

[adamd]

That one is new out of the box, it has 2 mins of pic/ride time on it.. I'll throw in the box if your going to put it on a shelf and not use it..

Now you have that one is NOS..

[88 Turbo Coupe]

I have one on my 350x already.

[deathman53]

I have one, that fits 83/84 250r forks and 350x, it has shims with it to fit smaller forks also. I never tried it on my 200x forks. My 200x has 350x tripples and 83/84 250r front end.

Yup sorry old post but, i picked up another nos brace last wk for my green framed 200x. It came w/those spacers/bushings that they have been called, ACTUALLY there used JUST for the fork boots. (Spacers dont make the clamping area any smaller.) Ive got four braces 3 will be on bikes and (one is spoken for) but only a couple plastic rings. In the past i just mounted the brace 1/4 inch lower on the fork tubes, for area for boot clamp, but realizing this it makes much more sense.....
Maybe this will help out someone that has a fork brace. Pics ..243089 243090

Does this plastic ring material/design look familiar to anyone? i'd like to get more, i figure its gotta be out there somewhere.243091 might be a lathe project in the future.

I figured you had already read something I posted about that; Some one else wasn't sure what they were for but they fit and work perfect.

Now I know why you were trying to go 35mm on the whoos - a - magigett....

Is 508 open yet?? :lol:

[Shep1970]

Yup i missed that somehow, about the rings. I just threw them back in the box figured they were just spacers for smaller forks or so i read on here so i never gave it any thought. Hit me like a ton of bricks when i actually realized to use em.

Weather has been crap for "508" track, atleast they're 3-wheel friendly if/when they do ever open.....
Here i am writing this at 2:30 am waiting for a fat raccoon that keeps getting into our trash!!!! I'll get him or atleast scare the crap out of him.

[Shep1970]

Thanx for looking.
