Anyone tried adding fork boots on their 700x to cover the shiny chrome?

Any sign of cracking? About really to cut mine off.
I don't know if it makes much difference on the NC, but on the DS bikes I changed the boots to the neoprene socks. I found that dirt gets sucked into the boots. The socks wipe away the dirt before it gets to the fork wipers or seals. I use the one piece socks which means you have to remove the forks to install but they seemed to work the best. Since I only ride pavement with this bike I left it stock. But if you ride a lot of dirt it might not be a bad idea to check it out.
I use these. I don't do any offroading though so just wanted to protect the forks from stones being thrown from cars in front of me. I can't remember where I got them but was probably eBay.

Thanks for sharing this. Got mine in mail last night and installed. I had Hippo Hands protectors but they looked a bit sloppy. Picture below for comparison.Shock Soxs are available for less than $30 a pair; removable, washable, reusable (10 second install).

Don't know anything about them, but they are getting good reviews on the American Motorcycle Association sites.
