If you have OEM 1100 forks, you don't need one. It's built right in to the forks. |

Back in the day you would have been able to get a Telefix or ATK fork brace but I think you would need to find a used one today. Blame your 1100f for killing the demand for aftermarket fork braces.
Then there is the brace offered by Randakk's SuperBrace:

Stock fork tubes on the North American spec 1100's (and 900's in NA) are 39mm. That the diameter for the chrome tubes that the slider move up and down on.

Careful on that Spec II website, it hasn't been updated since 1999. |

Yeah I call spec and they do not deal telefix fork braces anymore. They definitely need to update the website.

The page of TELEFIX in Germany is actual. They still offer fork braces. Maybe on Ebay-Germany you can find offers better than 139.00 € on the Telefix page.
Godd luck

I got a Telefix for my 900F through a BMW dealer in California a few (10?) years ago. Can't remember their name but I'll try to find the paperwork.
