    My 250 Mag clone ( actually a 1975 WR 250 which is AHRMA Vintage legal ) has the black leg , twin rib , Ceriani forks and a set of ProFab style triples from HuskyJunk.com . I recently installed Race Tech emulators and like them although there is still a bit of fine tuning to be done . Yesterday I was going over the bike and just happened to straddle the front wheel and cranked on the bars a bit while checking the steering head bearings for play . The wheel stayed put while the forks twisted like a pair of limp spaghetti noodles ! Even with the great triples ( which helped handling a great deal ) and the tubes slid WAY up , there is still all this flex . That jogged my memory to think of a Mag that was on ebay a while back that had a trick looking fork brace on it . Since these forks have no mounting holes or lugs , somebody had devised a mounting set-up . A buddy told me that one of the GNCC/offroad Pro's fathers ( Maybe Summers ? ) had made these and that they were available for sale but he didn't know where . I was wondering if anybody on here knew of this fork brace , had ran one , how well it worked , and most importantly , where to get one ? Anybody make their own ? I would like to take the grins off the Maico riders faces . This motor gives up nothing to any bike I've ridden against ( even the big bores ) and has gotten me quite a few holeshots . Chances of me becoming a better rider are slim so I need all the help I can get in tight turns and berms . Thanks guys .

    In case you're wondering why you haven't had any responses... it's because we'll require a photo of your 250 mag! We love photos.

    I know Summers produced fork braces for the later bikes with conventional forks, but I can't help you with 1974 bikes.
