Hmmm... I made one for my Interceptor about 25-yrs ago. I recall just measuring distance between 4-corners and drawing picture onto 8mm aluminium plate and having machine-shop cut it out for me. Then cut a square out of fender and bolting it in from underneath the brace.

Interesting.... I need to look up the rules for 250 Prod... might be able to sneak one in...
![]() I wonder if overlaying existing fender with sufficient layers of carbon-fibre would work... People do complain about the front being a handful at the limit with Alpha-13 tyres. I scored a set of Alpha-13 SP thanks to Bruce! Might try an SP in front with regular A-13 in rear and see how that works. Maybe in conjunction with brace would be even better! |

On my Interceptor, I replicated the factory brace with thicker flat bar stock. Then cut out a channel in fender to bolt it in from underneath. Imagine flat piece of metal 3x thicker.
![]() However, the ninjette doesn't have any bosses to easily bolt on brace. We'll have to clamp it around outside of sliders. Here's Telefix unit. ![]() Would be easier to have solid centre section between fork tubes. Then just bolt in end-caps. All we need to measure is: - outer diameter of fork sliders - their center-to-center spacing Do you have Solidworks? I guess any 2D drawing programme would work. |

The material around that back inside-corner looks really thin...
