double cradle horseshoe forkbrace???

i've been looking for a forkbrace that can retain my chrome fender on my kz900...there was one online used that had two pieces of tubing bent in a u shape and a brackett connecting them where the fender bolts go through.
i remember a really done up roadracer kz around my area twenty years ago that had one of these..
does anyone know the history on those braces or if they are still around..i quit biidding at 83..i checked back and it went for 157 and change..so someone really wanted it...
what's the story????
i'm also researching for a brace and am in the market( i know about the taroozzi) thanks peace

I had 2 of those and I sold one for sure - might still have the other one. I'll let you know if I can find it. Here's a (bad) picture of mine on my MKII with the stock fender:

yeah thats it!!!! i got goods to trade too...but you oughta put it on e-bay the kooks bid each other up to allmost 160.00.i thought it would be a cheaper type becuase it,,used,,re-painted in the add,,,and not all blingy like the atk or tarrozzi ..then the bidding started climbing...any idea what makes that type so desirable or any history ...thanks for the reply...i;ve got kawi parts if your in need of anything we can maybe trade stuff....peace...craig... also i can buy it too...

heat up some 3/8" steel rod and bend it around a piece of pipe same o.d as fender and weld to a couple brackets,about $5.00 in materials !:laugh:

i think your probably right again but no welding gear...now i gotta break the news to her....do i buy a cheaper wire feed and do some re-learning...i was a monkey ironworker for a good stretch,,in my twenties first life..but never learned the real numbers on welding and such,,,forgot 98% allready..but great idea...mine would look like a kid made it with his feet though....

Is that bolted on using the fender bolt holes?

yes it is through the fender mounts too

Thankz Triangle

If you take some detailed pictures and measurements, your local welding shop can probably make you one for $50 or less.

The website www.fastfromthepast.com has the fork braces bikes had in the 80's.
