Playing dress up, looking for suggestions

Hi guys...I tried the split gaiters. I challenge anyone to prove that they can actually successfully install them! I ordered the correct size from Revzilla then spent several hours over two different days trying to get the seams to pop together, and they would not. Turned out to be a good thing, as seeing them in person they were much too bulky in profile, not enough pleats, and were going to look very cheap and low class even if I had been able to get them to work. Sent them back, ordered the Kawasaki ones for 4x the price...but they're worth every penny. Even including the wheel and fork removal/reinstall it took far less time than I spent wrestling with those ridiculous, ugly split gaiters -- they simply have no place on a classy bike like the CB1100.
One man's story, your mileage may vary : )
