Fork Brace problem

Has anyone ever had a problem with theres breaking? Looks like Kuryakyn made this same piece for 1965-2005 Harley softail.

I'm in need of one of the side clamps. Does anyone know where I can just by the clamp or does someone have one that they want to sell? Thanks in advance.

I searched and searched but could not find the clamp only for sale. I would call Kuryakyn and inquire.

Unless someone has one and wants to part with it, my gut tells me you will need to buy the complete fork brace, clamps and all.

I had one on my softail and it was from HD. I really liked it.
It was the same one Kuryakyn had too.
Funny how HD and Kury use the same vendor huh?

It tightened up the ride and did not seem so qooshie. I never had any issues with it.
Gave it a sports car feel.
Something I would recommend is to wait until you are going to a rally where Kuryakyn is and take them your fork brace. My bet is that will replace it for free. They are really good about that and they really do stand behind their product, unlike HD.
Here's some other ones on ebay too.
