Abstract
A front fork brace which clamps to the sliding tubular portion of each front fork leg of a motorcycle. The brace captures a resilient member between each sliding tubular fork leg and respective clamping structures of the brace. A cross member rigidly connects the pair of clamping structures between upper ends of the lower sliding tube of each front fork leg. In one embodiment, each clamping structure has upper and lower flanges which capture an enlarged upper portion of the respective sliding tube therebetween to restrain relative movement between the clamping structures and the sliding tube. In another embodiment, the clamping structures clamp onto respective resilient sleeves.
