they are a retail/speed shop here in Gardena, California for brit bikes. Since silas is such a influence here I myslef got themBig Grin

On a side note I was lazy to tackle the job installing them giaters and found Kajima makes what they call Easy-On Gaiters which are cut on one side with a interlocking flap , so you don't have to disassemble the forks. Price for the Kajimas are $85.00 , pretty Steep So I went with the
British custom Gaiters.

Those easy on gaiters are pretty trick...pricey though!


Silas..were yours the BC 601-006 Gaiters for $24.95?


RE: Had to add gaiters!! - silascopathic_imp - 09-29-2013

Ferret , yes they were! Great price and value!


RE: Had to add gaiters!! - the Ferret - 09-29-2013

Cool, Thanks. Going to order some. Another question..they come with silver hose clamps, but I don't see them on your bike?


RE: Had to add gaiters!! - silascopathic_imp - 09-30-2013

yea,

those clamps are ugly as f&%k i used black industrial zip ties found at lowes


RE: Had to add gaiters!! - the Ferret - 09-30-2013

Lol..oh ok, Thanks for the tip


RE: Had to add gaiters!! - silascopathic_imp - 09-30-2013

no prob! i mean, i saved them because they are very useful but they just didn't seem minimal enough for my bike


RE: Had to add gaiters!! - Deanohh_imp - 09-30-2013

I slit each one up the side with scissors, punched a small hole at the peak of each pleat with my hole punch, wrapped around the tube and closed at the back with the smallest zip ties through each pair of holes. A bigger zip tie at the top and closed the bottom around fork legs with rubber tape.

http://www.jpcycles.com/product/220-0053 Can anyone verify that the 41mm gaiters in the above JP Cycles link will work on our CB1100?
thanks

Being 41mm in diameter it will definitely fit our forks but what you would need to find out is the length or height of the Gaiters themselves. I would Call them and see if they can verify that.
