I've got an 84 one I can trace the pattern off, if they're the same.

83's didnt have them, so they are from 84 as far as I am aware.

Thank you for your help guys.  I didn't expect any responses. I appreciate the help
You are right Hardo. The 84 had the brace.  I like the look of it with the smooth round fender that came on that bike.

I'll bet it looks good on your bike Piney. I still have not found one. I'll admit,asking someone that doesn't know me from Adam to remove a brace from their bike to trace it and mail it off is a lot to ask. Could you maybe take a top view pic with your phone and email it Piney? I'd be beyond grateful
I will wing it and create one from the picture. How did you mount it Piney? Did you drill and tap two holes in the top of your bottom triple?  Thanks !

Sorry, I didn't forget, just been busy.

This should get you 99% of the way there (even though my high school tech drawing teacher would be outraged).

http://s46.photobucket.com/user/annaandnathan/library/Bikestuff/KX125C?sort=3&src=wap&page=1

Three dimensions are missing:
1. The radius of the outside edge onto the rear mounting tabs.
2. The radius on the rear mounting tabs back onto the body of the brace (between the mounting tabs). Probably R15.
3. The distance between the front and rear mounting points. I'll check tomorrow and post back.

The rectangular holes are all the same size/shape.
The three forward "rungs" are all the same width.
And after measuring mine, I remembered that it has been linished down - it should be 3.0mm.

Thank You so much. The effort you made is more than anyone could ask for. I was asking for a picture and I was going to guess approximate dimensions. You took it so much further by labeling everything. I can't thank you enough . As well as everyone that had responded here.

GMC has a diagram that's WAY better. Have you seen it?

Could that have been a diagram of a cone exhaust for a KX?
Thanks again for those dimensions. I don't know what more I would need ,what you did was perfect. Except maybe a conversation to inches.
As a carpenter by trade, I wish we used metric measurements here
