Been looking for one for mine for over a year now with no luck. I have a couple of RWD fenders that I've been thinking about cutting up but I just don't have time. I really liked the RSD brace that I ran with my 21x120 and I would love to have a bolt on option like it. I emailed RSD to see if they were planning on a 23 option but they have no plans.

Default yepp..

- Lochabstand von den Befestigungslöschern und Durchmesser
- Gabelbreite (Innenmaß von den Befestigungslöschern)
- Höhe von den Befestigungslöschern zum Gummi ( Oberkante )
- Höhe von den Befestigungslöschern zum Sollmaß unterkante Brace
- Was für ein Zeichen ( Draufsicht )

...and now in english

- distance between the mounting points (i guess the original front fender support) and diameter
- fork width (inside between the fork sliders)
- distance from mounting points to the top of the tire
- distance from mounting points to the brace
- what image on top of the brace (iron cross)

i meassure my front end tomorrow and send him a scheme with the things

Im confused on this though. What do you mean by distance from mounting points to the brace.
