There is an excellent tutorial in the "how to" section of Mechanical & Technical.
Check it out.

As reported on the site by long time users, the Kawasakis last forever. Most of the other ones don't.

Here is an interesting thread on that: http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....ht=gaiters

And check out the How TO that Rocky mentioned.

Definitely check out the thread mentioned above for the info needed. I installed the Kawasaki gaiters in January by following the excellent tutorial posted by the Ferret...it went very smoothly. If I can do it, trust me, anyone can do it.

I don't recall the Kawasaki part number needed but i remember it cost a little under $100 I believe...

Kawasaki Gaiter Part Numbers: 49006-1335 (boots) [x 2] from a thread started by Ferret with DIY photos [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3289]here. FWIW, Ferret, forum moderator, almost always knows whereof he speaks!

Cheers!

Buy the Kawasaki gaiters, Grinton.
I bought some aftermarket gaiters (British Customs) and they lasted just 8 months before they were trash.
