Hi group, I'm looking for Blackwing Fork Brace for my GL 1500, I tried to contact Blackwing Engineering to find out the price + shipping to Italy and if there was the possibility of finding it on Ebay or with PayPal payment, but I didn't get a response Grazie :roll:

Blackwing fork brace is no more.
The original maker passed away, and the person that picked up manufacturing has stopped.
Don't remember the reason.

Basically unless you get very lucky finding one on e-bay or a Goldwing site, you will not be getting one.

The sad thing is there are ones out there on bikes that are going to the junkyard, but people don't realize what it is so it gets trashed.

Only real option now is the Superbrace (or one of it's cheap chinese knockoff's).
Not as good as the Blackwing, but better than nothing.
