I was looking into getting a set for my Racebikes. They have the top clamp and then the have the top and bottem clamp. I get alot of fork flex from my bike and want to get rid of this.
Years ago, I installed a Telefix fork brace on my 79 GS 1000. It has 35mm forks, and the Telefix fork brace is high quality and really improved handling. http://www.telefix-products.com/stabi/gabelstabi.htm

My Suzuki came with a thin sheet-metal brace under the chromed fender. When I replaced the fender with a fiberglass one, I had less support between forks. The only support between the sliders was at the axle. And like I said, the forks are only 35mm. The Telefix supports the top of the sliders so they move parallel with little or no flex.

Type Telefix in Yahoo or Google and you will see that they were installed on many 70's and 80's superbikes. I don't know if Telefix makes braces for many newer bikes, and I don't know if they need them with their thicker fork tubes. Bought mine from Racer's Supply, but they went out of business years ago. If I had a digital camera, I'd take a picture. The Telefix is black, which matches my frame, tank, and fender.
