Thanks nikitino. It should be 21-0010 or something like that as far as I can see on their web site. Can I ask you where did you get your Tarozzi brace?

All I've read is that the ETZ 250 and up front forks are the same as our Silver Stars, so I would think the ETZ fork brace should work on a Silver Star. But not positive........

Thanks Manny. That's the one I was looking at. So you are saying this will work just fine on my SilverStar fork, right?

Nikitino, possibly 175 (milimetres) is the piece measure between the forks.

I think that's exactly right. The fork tube center-to-center distance is 175mm.

No, I am not a lucky MZ SilverStar owner :cry: . :wink:

Don, empirical I can said the fork of my bike is now a lot better.
I speak about fork stabilizer with other brands motocycles riders and they feel between
"a lot" and "a bit" better performance, but always better than original fork set.

The fork in many bikes have not enought rigidity, it need more than a front mudguard.
The riders they go to the fork stabilizer: not happy with the original fork set performance or try ride fast.

I really had many doubts before purchasing the "nonvital" piece, its price is 1/3 of the total value of the bike...

Saludos/Regards

Got the Tarozzi fork brace on today and it fits as it should. The dust caps pop back on to the top of the brace and seal better than before on the fork leg. The Tarozzi #21-0010 is correct for the SilverStar and Gus approves. No road test today though - cold and icy outside. :( -Don
