Is there a fork brace that fits behind the stock fork guards?

I wanted to add a fork brace to finish off the front end but the ones I've seen require you to remove the stock guards which means I have to drop the forks. I'm not a lazy guy but just want to avoid having to drop the forks again after i just had intimidators installed... I know poor planning.

Are there any out there that just bolt up behind the stock guards?

Thanks in advance,
X

There's a how to remove the fork protector thread somewhere here - basically you can bump them up and cut them with a pair of tin snips to remove.

Hi thats one of my threads:

http://www.triumphrat.net/twins-technical-talk/176010-cheap-fork-brace.html

You just wrap a screw driver in cloth or a drift and tap them off. Then you cut them at a angle. The reason you want an angle is so you can make them tighter or looser when you glue them back together for a tight fit if you want to reuse them. I too couldn't be arsed takeing the front end off. However what a massive difference the fork brace made and for only £50.
