Hi Folks,
Sometime ago I rode with someone (can't remeber who now) and they had a
metal brace installed on their front fender.
Here's my problem, I have a fender bag for spare tubes, and the
vibration from the up and down motion, because of the added weight, can
be felt in the handle bars at around 55 mph and upwards. I need some way
of making the fender more ridged, but still allowing me to be able to
use my fender bag.
Any suggestions ?
TIA

fender brace
I have seen them before. I think they are called fender brace or
fender supports. Its a piece on aluminum with large holes in the
center. I saw them in an old denis kirk catalog but cant find it in
the new one. I think Moose makes them but can't find it on their
website. you could try arrowheadfred or dualstar.

fender brace
Dave,
Search for Acerbis Fender Braces. I think Dennis Kirk has them, the
part number is 614008 from an old catalog I have. I would give Fred a
call, he would know.
Per Chris's Page: "Acerbis aluminum front fender brace: This also
broke on the LA-B-V, in the aforementioned hard drop. Looks like
constant vibration fatigue-hardened the aluminum, so that in the
crash, it snapped rather than bending. The nylon ones don't fit, so
I'm going back to no fender brace."

A lister at the CMC had made one out of Carbon Fiber, it looked very
trick.

oxtar infinity boots for sale
Listers,
A friend of mine in Minneapolis has a pair of Oxtar Infinity Dual Sport
boots for sale. They are size 44 which is about a 10. He used them for
one ride and can't use them because of an ankle deformity from an old
fracture that the boots won't accommodate. He's got the box and the
boots for all purposes are like new. If it wasn't for his old fracture
he'd be riding with these boots.
Now the part that is really good is he'll let these boots go for $185
plus shipping costs.
About two months or so ago these were on close out at New Enough dot Com
for I think $189 plus shipping. That was a great deal if they had your
size. These boots as far as I know are no longer available unless
someone finds a stash somewhere. When they are again returned to the
market they will, from what I've been told, stay the same with a new
name. This was something to do with a copyright or label law or
something when the company was sold. The other thing I was told is the
new version will be 10-15% more expensive than the MSRP for this version.
And the MSRP as best I remember was about $260.
So, if you're still with me and are interested in getting a very good
boot at an exceptional price here's your chance.
Contact Ernie Swihart at ewswihart@... . Do not contact me as I
don't have the boots and will only tell you to contact Ernie. I'm sure
these are a first come first serve item and he only has one pair.
Thanks for your time and indulgence.
Best,
Jeff Saline
