Product Information
Full details
Kriega Fork Seal Covers are designed for motorcycle riders seeking to extend the lifespan of their USD (Upside Down) forks by providing enhanced protection against mud and dirt. Their primary benefit is increased fork service life with minimal effort. A potential caveat is that while they offer significant protection, they are not a substitute for regular fork maintenance. Made from NEOSKIN (coated neoprene), these covers are easy to fit, clean, and require no fork disassembly, making them a practical addition for any rider.

No, the Kriega Fork Seal Covers are designed with a hook and loop (Velcro) closure, allowing them to be fitted and removed without any need for fork disassembly.
How often should I clean the fork seal covers?
It is recommended to clean them before each ride, especially if you have been riding in muddy or dirty conditions, to maintain their effectiveness and prolong the life of your fork seals.
Can I use these covers in all weather conditions?
Yes, the NEOSKIN material provides protection in various conditions. However, regular cleaning is essential, particularly after exposure to mud, dust, or corrosive elements.
What is NEOSKIN material?
NEOSKIN is a coated neoprene material, chosen for its flexibility, durability, and protective qualities, making it suitable for safeguarding motorcycle forks.
Are cable ties included with the fork seal covers?
Cable ties are not included with the fork seal covers. They are an optional addition for enhanced security and longevity.
How do I know if these covers will fit my motorcycle?
The Kriega Fork Seal Covers are designed for a universal fit on most USD (Upside Down) motorcycle forks. If you have specific concerns, measure your fork stanchion diameter.
What is the purpose of the 3M Scotchlite reflector?
The 3M Scotchlite reflector is integrated to increase your visibility to other road users in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or at night, enhancing safety.
Troubleshooting
Cover slides down during riding
Ensure the Velcro is securely fastened. For increased security, use cable ties through the designated slots to better secure the cover to the fork leg. Check that the cover is the correct size for your fork.
Velcro closure not holding firmly
Clean the Velcro surfaces to remove dirt and debris. If the Velcro is worn, consider using cable ties for a more secure fit.
Cover appears to be restricting fork movement
Verify that the cover is not too tight and that cable ties (if used) are not excessively restrictive. Ensure the cover is correctly positioned and not bunching up.
Material seems stiff in cold weather
NEOSKIN is a type of neoprene and may become stiffer in very cold temperatures. This is normal and should not affect performance significantly. Allow the bike to warm up slightly before aggressive riding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the fork sliders are clean before installation.
- Wrap the Kriega Fork Seal Cover around the fork leg, aligning the Velcro closure.
- Secure the Velcro firmly. For added security, especially for aggressive riding or long-term use, use the provided slots to attach cable ties (not included) around the cover and fork leg. Ensure cable ties are not over-tightened, which could damage the fork leg or cover.
Compatibility:
These covers are designed with a universal fit for most standard USD motorcycle forks. Measure your fork stanchion diameter and travel length if unsure, though they are generally adaptable.
Care:
- Clean the covers regularly using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the NEOSKIN material.
- Allow covers to dry completely before re-installing or storing.
