LOL yep, expensive little boogers but made from premium rubber. I have had a set on a bike for 13 years now and they are still in good shape. Others who have gone the cheaper, $30 aftermarket route, have had issues with their bellows splitting in as little as 6 months. It's not a difficult job to install them, but I still wouldn't want to be doing it twice a year, when the Kawi ones will last a decade or more. They also FIT snuggly around the lower fork leg without cutting V's in them and then using wire ties to then tighten them up.

My first set of cheap gaiters were trash in 6 months. Be smart and pay up front for the Kawi gaiters.

Even though it says 10-11 for the year, these will fit the 13-14 USA spec CB1100.

Best to call them and discuss exactly what your needs are. IKON can provide any combination of body, spring and cover.
