Re: What's wrong with fork gaiters?

I love the (function of) that chain guard. My Honda 50 had a full one of those, and IIRC, Bultaco Metrala's had one like the pic. Chain lasts forever. Why are these useful things so uncool? Wot my kids would say about me as well.:(

I have neoprene ones on my KTM but you do have to take them off after every ride otherwise the fork leg stays damp and dirty.

They only work on deeply unfashionable RWU forks.

I have some on my dullville. it looks sh*t anyway so I don't care. keeps the fork legs free from winter carp, and gives it a kinda mad max look - to go with the rest of the paint scheeme :p

Visually, I reckon there'd no penalty fitting them on a faired bike.
