 |
|
| Are there any US manufacturers of a fork brace that will fit the Baghira? Can one from the mastiff or skorpion be fit? |

Hey, nice neat workshop, hope it stays that way, I do be a bit on bikes myself, mainly on Honda Goldwings (I'm a bit of a specialist, being the technical editor for the UK goldwing owners club). I know just how difficult it can be to keep everthing tidy.
Best of luck in your venture.

[color=green]Well, here's the german fork-brace. Hmmm, german, as i said :-)
http://kern-stabi.baden24.de/departments.html?fsdeplistparentid=966
I think you need a "Sonderanfertigung", meaning "especially manufactured". Maybe you should try to get into contact with a german Baghira-rider that could help providing Kern with needed data.
Btw, nice shop!

You might try e-mailing www.motobits.com, they list one for a skorpion for $80.00.

Looking at pictures of the Mastif, I cant see any reason why the fork brace fitted wont fit. You might have to pay some attention to the routing of the cables but this should be easy enough.
Cant see why you would want to do it though as I think it would look a bit odd.

the mastiff uses the same unajustable forks as the low version of the baghira, they are not the same as the adjustable ones on the tall version (I have the technical manual that covers both sets) altho its possible the brace might fit the tall forks, who knows.
