haggi961 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Used to call them gaiter or gaitors ,have seen on Fbay...black would be good for me ..keep us posted on progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fit them if you've got something to hide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindie Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Leave them off! If your really worried, just prise up the dust wiper after a wet ride to let that bit dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggi961 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 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.
