January 1, 201214 yr Just wondering if anyone can point me into the right direction, but im looking to get the dust/mud covers that go over the front shocks and the type im after is like the wet suits material stuff as i know you can get rubber ones. Is the stuff a universal size or do they make the for diffrent bikes?

January 2, 201214 yr Used to call them gaiter or gaitors ,have seen on Fbay...black would be good for me ..keep us posted on progress
January 2, 201214 yr My advise is to leave them off! When dust and dirt gets in there it will be trapped and may score the fork leg? Modern day forks and seals are designed to withstand getting dirty and washed off afterwards you will have no problems.
January 2, 201214 yr I use them and like them. https://secure.rypusa.com/catpage.cfm?cat_selected=115

January 4, 201214 yr Leave them off! If your really worried, just prise up the dust wiper after a wet ride to let that bit dry.
January 4, 201214 yr Author Thanks for the links guys and comments. What stuff could you hide if you had something to hide as they wont take long to lift up if needed be, only reason i want them is looks tbh and if they stop a bit of dirt then that wouldnt go a miss.
