Title: I need protection
Post by: Speedy1959 on Monday, 16 October 2017, 09:06 PM
Hi All...
after removing the fork brace I now have to buy a pair of fork protectors.

obviously I could get the genuine ones for the GSX...
But I was wondering if anyone knows of any that offer MORE protection that would fit our diameter of fork leg.
In other words the standard ones offer about 2" (5cms) of protection.
Does anyone know of any that are say 3 or 4"?
Before any of you suggest it....
Nooooo I dont want gators as in the days of yore !!
Next you will suggest stirrups !

you can get forkseal covers that have protectors built in
and think some of the after market parts places seal pattern fork protectors .

I fitted these to my K7, dust seals with the protector built in, they worked well with and without the brace, as they sat on top, not on the outside of the fork leg. Had no issue with them over 5k miles before I sold my 14.

(don't worry they say K3, the fork dust seals - which these are - fit all models. SImple to fit, drop your fork left out, prise the OEM dust cover out and replace with one of these. Job done. 2 in a pack and good value for money IMO. Look a lot neater and being bendy, easy to clean behind as well  :onya:)
