Fork dust boots

[Gusable]

I've seen some nc's with fork dust boots or gaiters. Do they make those that are split in half so you don't take the forks apart? I'd hate to take my brand new bike apart !

Yes, the motorcycle shock sox is make for street bikes. Google: motorcycle shock sox.

Thank you!

[THIS] was my solution. I used neoprene from an old wet suit and zip ties. You don't have to take the wheel off, and the neoprene sheds water pretty well...

The first set lasted two years... the second will do better as I sprayed it will that stuff that projects against sun damage.

2 year old Hippo Hands protector on left. Worked, but recently replaced with better fitting and looking Shock Sox on right.

the shock sox seem like a good deal at the price they are. Good look to them...

Fuzzy........... Do you happen to recall what size you ordered on those Shock Soxs?

Mine are NOJ brand. Bought them on eBay for $10 and they adjust using Velcro. Not the prettiest things but effective.

The Triumph fork protectors people shared on here are really good. They fit beautifully and are very easy to install. Give a search, I think you might prefer them over fork gaiters.

Unless someone sees a simpler, better, and cheaper product of this type, I'm about to pull that trigger too.

Those will work but it is only an hours job to install real gaiters. , pull the front wheel and caliper drop the foks as a unit slide on the gaiters and it's done. The add a bit of detail to the front. Bonneville ones work.
