Hi all,
I have a 1974 DT360 which is missing nothing, or so I thought, until I saw same in Wikipedia with a fork brace...but I also saw an obvious unrelated error in article, so perhaps data is suspect.
Love to know if anyone knows, thank you

Low fender and brackets arguably acted somewhat as a brace on earlier Yamaha models.

None had a specific fork brace from the factory.

Fork braces were all an aftermarket accessory that could also be bought through the Yamaha accessory catalog... Yamaha sold an aftermarket brace in Yamaha packaging.
