Whose running fenders with the tarozzi fork brace?
« on: April 09, 2022, 10:16:12 PM »
I have an 850T Cafe project and I want to run a front fender.  How did you attach the fenders, to the fork brace?  What fenders are you using?

Well, I see you don't have an answer yet. I have the Tarozzi fork brace on the AeroLario, but it sits above the stock fender mount. Dunno what you are planning on?

I’m thinking I might run a aftermarket fender, and bolting it to fork brace.

the tarrozzi braces are not meant to hold a fender. You have some mods to make.

For plastic/ fibreglass fender wearing Tontis  , a fork brace can certainly help. The ones with stainless fenders ( 750S3, T/T3/T4 G5.Convert) already have the fender brackets that suffice as fork braces, so for the sake of Guzzi frugality, why would  someone toss what already works and spend money to correct fork flex?
Both the Tarozzi and Telefix are nice pieces,  but they stiiffen up fork motion both to and fro as well as normal , small vertical  movement variation, between  left/ right legs that, to me are necessary  for supple fork  action. The later factory fork brace equipped Guzzis allow some vertical  movement  variation so apparently Guzzi engineers  also  took that in consideration.  SP with Cali3/SP3 fork conversion ref. pic below
YMMV
