Where can I find a fork brace for a 2000 standard with an eight degree rake?

a fork brace cannot be installed for inverted forks.

That's what confused me on his request. ??? Apparently he has the 8 degree tree set up all ready. |

I'd be more concerned as to why he's running an 8 deg. rake, something normally used only on trikes. If the frame was set up and designed to use the 8 degree, then fine. But a straight OEM frame is pushing the envelope when using an 8 where even a 6 degree created some handling issues that I didn't like.

John, from the looks of his avatar he is on a trike. |

A friend has a Super Brace on his '99 tourer. I believe it's the only one in existence. I agree it's probably pointess, but there is one brace out there. |
