"Scotts Performance" in the US are a supplier of motorbike parts and accessories. They are the manufactures of the "Scotts" steering damper but also have a retail shop. You will find them on google. I bought a pair a asterisk knee braces for when i ride my dirt bike. They are carbon fibre construction with a hinge on either side of your knee. You can also adjust the amount your knee can straighten out therefore stopping hyper-extension. They also have a patella cup which is removable if you wish.
At the time they were around $1200 a pair in Australia and i got them for $500 odd delivered, i can't remember the exact price, but it is AU dollar value dependent. They are brilliant to deal with and respond very quickly via e-mail to any questions you may have. Delivery takes less than a week.
Just go to your local bike shop and work out your size because you must get this right. I know this is a bit slack but the money you save is worth the guilt. That is unless the bike shop is prepared to come to the party on price.

I got a CTI brace. works ok.

Exactly.
I have been racing motocross for many years and still have no knee problems. CTI2 are custom fitted to you and have a lifetime warranty. Every couple of years you will break them in a crash. Just post them over to the states and they will reco them. Did I mention that I have never had any knee problems??? Most of the other guys that I raced with got them after they had broken there knees.
Google 'Gall Brothers Medical' and then you can get measured up.

Doing a cleanout today I found my old brace.

Its a neoprene sleeve with straps but it has light metal plates with hinges on both sides. So you strap above and below the knee and the hinge provides the stability.

You're welcome to it if it fits.

don't give up, we can rebuild him!

Larko......what happened to you?????

Never would have guessed.

Looked a bit rough in his younger years, I'm glad he's come good now.
