Fork Protectors, an alternative to Gaitors?

[Tev62]

I spaced out my horns by 10mm as CB1100RS suggested and the fork protectors are back on. I had to take an urgent run into Dublin City for work and decided to take the CB, the weather was lovely, I was no more than five minutes up the road when the heavens opened and it rained on me for the next 90 minutes. When I got back I noticed what a great job the fork protectors had done, they were covered in a layer of road muck, all of which the fork dust seal would of had to contend with had they not been there. So I recomend them if you are a wet weather rider.
