Hahaha... I actually like Garry's idea better anyway. There's not much force required to push that cap down, and the clamp will take the load easily.

According to the service manual, you're supposed to replace both. You shouldn't have any issues though...I thought about doing the same thing but I had time since I was doing other stuff to the bike so I ordered them.

Garry... I've been following this thread and am interested in your fork brace. Do you make a brace for a 2002, 1500 Nomad fi ?
Thanks, David |

Hi All
Does anybody know the size of the fork boots/gaiters required after installing the brace onto a 2014 VN1700 Voyager Custom (Vaquero in the US)? |

I've been following your brace shipment online but no updates since the 25th, it does appear it is in England and cleared customs, hopefully you will have it soon.

Sorry for the late reply Garry. Brace received in good time, now powder coat painted and ready to go on.
Radjay, I'm up in East Yorkshire |

Has anyone any experience of fitting a larger front wheel whilst keeping the fork brace on or even if it is possible. I was thinking maybe a larger wheel would fit within the stock fender with a lower profile tyre

The brace clears the stock fender by only 2 mm.

I am installing the fork brace after changing the steering bearing and new fork oil, is there any reason to keep the Fork Cover Clamps? I do not plan on running boots, are these needed as "bump stops"?
