does anyone actually make a fork brace for the baggy - or do i need to MacGuyver something together?

...since no one seems to make one - it appears that i will in fact HAVE to MacGyver one together, so heres my idea...

the baggy has 45mm forks and my honda has 43mm forks...so im pretty sure i can get the XR fork brace to fit (it was larger than the forks to accomodate the bushings) - it should be 'close enough' that i may only need to mickey mouse some new skinny bushings on to make it work!!

i'll let you know how it goes...

wish me luck!!

the guys at Telefix in Germany tell me that if I give them all the dimensions, they can suggest one which will work. They sent a PDF template out with all the dimensions on that they'd need. I';m sure it be worth your while. http://www.telefix-products.com/
