For those of you riding Harleys wanting a fork brace your not alone. I looked at many and tried a few, nothing fit, or fit my fender choice, which was a fatbob fender on a wide glide front.
Soooo i came up with a brilliant and reasonable priced fork brace for a hawg. Its a lower tree from a wide glide or a dyna, with the stem cut off, I figured what the hell ? saw it off or leave it on and install a headlight in the hole, so i cut it off, i have other lower trees, they be reasonable at swap meets compared to after market fork braces.
They be 41mm i do believe, if you have a later model with 49mm find a bottom tree of 49mm and use it, my front end is 10inches over and requires a brace after visually checking it out on the table.
Chop saw did not make short work of it, that lower tree is tuff stuff, but it did get the job done just don't be in a hurry, and properly brace it with a wood block to hold it level and steady it.
Haven't decided on folding the chrome cover over on the backside down to a degreed angle to cover the cut yet or not, opinions on that ? thanks
Hope this helps someone in need.
