TT Top Braces - ToasterTan

TT 101 and 102 braces are interchangeable with most models having the same tube size, as are the TT 101M and 102M. If you alter your bike, you may find another style brace works with your setup better. Feel free to contact me if you have questions on fitment.

Example: You have a naked /6 or /7 and decide to use aftermarket gauges. You only need holes for handlebar risers so may find the /5 brace looks better with a smaller envelope and smooth face. If you want to attach brackets see the Tech and Tips page.

/6-7 Brace

Standard Brace for /6-7 ~ R65 from 85-95

TT-101 :: 36mm forks

TT-101M :: 38.5mm forks

Direct replacement for the stock /6-7 top plate. Improves handling and gives the bike a planted feel in corners and on rough roads.

Standard Brushed Aluminum finish: $174

Black or Clear powder coat: $184

/5 Brace

TT-102 :: 36mm

TT-102M :: 38.5mm

Designed to compliment the /5 curved headlight nacelle, which holds the Motometer. Requires only riser mounts so the envelope is smaller for a clean look.

Also made for 38.5mm forks when the other mounting holes aren’t needed. Including the R65 model years 1985-95

Standard Brushed Aluminum finish: $174

Black Powder coat: $184

TT-105 G/S Brace ~ 36mm forks: $186

New G/S brace is here! Completely redesigned.

Black powder coat only

Smaller, lighter and with replaceable carbon fiber signal stems.

Unlike the BMW bracket, the TT-105CS signal stems can be used on either side so you can carry a spare when out riding hard in the back country. It takes 15 minutes and a 4mm allen wrench to change one out. They are much stronger than the BMW bracket – at a fraction of the weight and cost.

EXTRA TT-105CS Carbon fiber signal stems: $6 each

TT-202 :: R80GS – R100GS

Lower Fork Bridge

Completely redesigned!

TT-202: $250

Innovative design has a mechanical advantage by wrapping the fork, which holds them solid against twisting in soft dirt. The side connector protects the fork seal area from impact and no sharp angles so brush slides off.

Open bridge eliminates mud and debris clogs which jam the tire. Provides maximum tire clearance for knobbies.

Check out the GS Riser Spacers, which raise the handlebars 30mm. See: Fork Setup

TT-104 R80ST ~ 36mm forks NEW DESIGN!

Based on the TT-102 it has a smaller envelope and cleaner look than the previous design. It accommodates the ST nacelle brackets and gauge mounts.

Also fits G/S models with 36mm forks not using the BMW signal pods.

TT-104 :: $174

Has the auxiliary gauge bracket locator pin and clearance for a spanner wrench to adjust the head bearing without removing the brace.

Low Profile Stem Nut

I strongly recommend using a TT low profile stem nut with a TT Top Brace.

The BMW nut has a shallow, 2.4mm skirt to hold everything in place. TT Stem Nut has a 6mm skirt, which engages the center stem near full depth of the 7mm thick brace. It provides a solid interface which does not interfere with compression on the bearing adjuster. A huge improvement in keeping the forks aligned and centered. The 4mm lower profile gives it a smooth, cleaner look.

TT-301 :: $34

TT-301D – with damper hole $34

Machined from 17-4 PH Stainless Steel

Low Profile TT Stem Nut for a stock BMW top plate

TT-301B :: $34

TT-301BD – with damper hole $34

The BMW nut has a cast, tapered, skirt that makes contact with barely half of the 4mm plate thickness. The TT Stem Nut has a precision machined, 3mm skirt which provides full contact with the plate walls for the best interface possible.

The lower profile provides better clearance and a more aesthetic appearance.

Want to add a bit of bling to the yoke? High quality, 20mm roundels with a nickel/silver base and cloisonné enamel, which is baked to form a ceramic. They won’t fade in the sun and not harmed by oils or solvents.
