Can someone tell me the superbrace specs/thickness?
« on: May 30, 2005, 10:44:45 AM »
For any of you guys who have a superbrace or have fabricated your own thicker fork brace, could you tell me how thick the brace is?  1/4 inch?  I'm trying to get one fabricated by a local machinist for cheap.  I'm just going to have him make a thicker one using the OEM brace as a model, but I'm not sure how thick I want to go with the new brace.  
As always, thanks, in advance!   :thanks:

Mine is at the bike shop, I'll measure it later today. I did'nt put it on yet, I was waiting to put my track tires on last month but never made it to the track. Then got busy working yada,yada.  Dan

Hey Dan, thanks for the effort--I think I'll go with a 1/4'' then.   :thanks:

Hey sorry man, I forgot you asked for my drawing.  I can't find it on my pc at work.  I will have to check to see if I have it at home.  I used 1/2" 6061.  Basically all I did was remove the stock bracket and use it as a template for the thicker one.  Radiused the edges and bolt it on.  You will need some longer screws, I used Stainless Steel Button Head Cap Screws.

No problemo chevsuz12, just let me know if you find the drawing.  I think I'll go between 1/4-1/2" and maybe a higher grade aluminum.    Thanks for the info, though!
