FAQs

What is the primary purpose of these fork boot gaitors?

Their main purpose is to protect the motorcycle's fork stanchions from dirt, mud, scratches, and other debris that can cause wear and damage.

Are these gaitors suitable for all types of motorcycles?

They are specifically designed with vintage motocross and enduro bikes in mind, but can be used on other motorcycles if the dimensions (350mm length x 41mm top Ø x 58mm bottom Ø) are compatible with your fork.

What material are the gaitors made from?

They are made from a durable, rubber-like material that offers flexibility and resistance.

How do I clean the fork boot gaitors?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

Will these gaitors affect my suspension performance?

When properly installed and maintained, they should not negatively affect suspension performance. Their primary role is protection.

What are the exact dimensions of the gaitors?

The gaitors measure 350mm in length, have a top outer diameter of 41mm, and a bottom outer diameter of 58mm. They feature 28 waves.

Can I cut these gaitors to a shorter length if needed?

While the material is somewhat flexible, cutting may compromise the integrity and sealing capabilities of the gaitor. It's best to ensure the full length is suitable or to find a product with more appropriate dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Gaitor does not fit snugly

Ensure the correct size has been selected for your fork diameter. If slightly loose, consider using zip ties or specialized clamps (not included) to secure the top and bottom edges. For a tighter fit, ensure the stanchion is clean and dry before installation.

Gaitor tears or rips

Inspect the gaitor for sharp objects or excessive friction points on the motorcycle frame or components. If a tear occurs, it may need replacement to maintain full protection.

Difficulty installing over fork

Ensure the fork stanchion is clean. Applying a small amount of silicone spray or water to the inside of the gaitor can help it slide on more easily. Stretch the gaitor gently as you apply it.

  • Durable construction ensures long-term use.
  • Enhances the aesthetic of vintage motorcycles.
  • Material offers flexibility for a secure fit.
  • Helps prevent scratches and minor damage to fork stanchions.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for vintage applications; fit on modern bikes may vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation typically involves sliding the gaitor over the fork tubes. For a secure fit, ensure the gaitor is centered and the top and bottom sections are properly seated. Some minor stretching of the rubber-like material may be required. It is recommended to clean the fork stanchions before installation.

Compatibility: These gaitors are specifically sized at 350mm (length) x 41mm (top Ø) x 58mm (bottom Ø) with 28 waves. They are best suited for vintage motorcycles and applications where these dimensions are a close match. Always measure your fork stanchion diameter and length before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Care: To maintain the gaitors and ensure their longevity, regular cleaning is advised. Use a damp cloth to wipe away mud and dirt. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can degrade the rubber-like material. Inspect for any tears or damage periodically.
