Fork Gaiters - buyer beware

[NightRider_imp]

Gaiters? Is this another rubber thingie I need to run faster? So, now my ultra super amazing CB1100 needs another rubber thingie that Honda forgot to put on her? But this one is now from a Kawasaki? I know that has to be just plain wrong. Wrong I tell you. No wonder they start melting after a while, the Kawa gaiter thingie will melt too given time, cause it's being rejected by the Honda. You know, back in the 70s losing the gaiter was all the rage, nice clean forks, especiall the one like on a Kawasaki 500 Mach III were gaiterless so they would cut throught the air without gaiter turbulance, that's what we called it, "gaiter shakes" we called it. I know that's right.
