Glad everyone seems to be enjoying the story an pictures. I have also enjoyed hearing that many others have had similar experiences. Maybe it is a "two degrees of separation" sort of thing when it comes to motorcycles? From my first bike through my 750, they all had rubber fork gaiters. I loved the look, as well as protecting and keeping the fork tubes clean. We did not have ArmorAll or any of the other dedicated rubber treatments back them, so we used silicone spray on all the rubber parts ( sidewalls only for the tires ) to keep them looking new. My friends and I were just as fanatical about our bikes, and keeping them clean back them as I am now. The running joke among ourselves was "a clean bike goes faster than a dirty one".
