Hello KLR Land:
For you fork brace shoppers take a look at the Telefix Brace. Its made by
Weigl out of Germany and peddled in California by Spec II. $129.00 plus tax
and shipping and one heck of an engineering project. Its also passes German
standards for after market gear. TUV? or some such.
It doesn't interfere with fork gaiters. I don't think any of them do. You
scootch the gaiter up and clamp the device around the fork; the gaiter is
then clamped or zip tied to the fork brace.
Next
The Guggenheim Museum's book is called:
"The Art of the Motorcycle." (Las Vegas Bike Show book)
ISBN 0-8109-6912-2 (hardcover)
ISBN 0-89207-207-5 (softcover)
The hardcover in Las Vegas was $65.00 or $75.00, soft cover about $35.00. It
is heavy, plan on shipping the sucker home.
FWIW, I wrote the other day I thought the first motorcycle was a Daimler,
wrong.
The first "bike" is or was ...a Michaux-Perreau Steam Velocipede, 1868,
France.
They had one (or a replica) at the show. Some of the really old bikes are
replicas or bits rebuilt to the same spec's as new.
Hope this helps.
