Hi, just had Alan Whitton work his magic on some old Long Roadholders and some not so old 'zocchis.. I'd like to use gaiters to keep the stanchions in good nick and I want them to look pleasing to my eye too.

Anyone know offhand which ones will fit nicely to the 35mm and also the top of the Roadholders? I want them to be a relatively fine 'pitch', ones in pics I've seen have about 15 'teeth' if you know what I mean, I'm really not keen on the coarse ones with about 8 'teeth'

Ta very much

ebay ~ huge selection.

I've got these one lying around because they are to long for my Bultaco:

The top will fit 35mm forks and the bottom fits around 52 - 53mm (maybe 54mm if you strech them a bit)

Thanks, I'll measure up when I get home. I'm sat waiting to be discharged after a hernia op!

I did look on eBay , but a lot of the fine pitch ones are roughly 2" each end, to go over the shrouds at the top. Just hoping that someone else had had the same thoughts and solved it- usually the case on here

You could, at a push make up a "dummy" shroud top ?

Yes, I had similar idea, turn one up in ally, drill it, then cut in half.

Think I'll find something suitable though, I'm prob just being a bit of a tart !

My friendly machine shop has plastic (which I use for the chain tensioner blocks) could machine as an interference fit. I personally think it looks better.
