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.

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

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.

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.
