davetom Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guys Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetom Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 You could, at a push make up a "dummy" shroud top ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetom Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
