Triumph fork gaiters are great!
#1



Just installed the Triumph gaiters and clamps on my "13. Someone else here made the recommendation.

I bet they last as long as the bike. Very well made. And i like the black clamps. Much better than stainless steel.

Fork gaiters: Triumph part #T2040349 (edited to correct part number. This one is right!)
Clamps: Triumph part #T2045157

You'll also need two screws( one per) for the clamps. The clamps aren't sold with them. I bought them from Triumph, but I can't find the package with the part #.

I think they cost me about $75

A picture would just show some black rubber thingies on my forks. I'm sure you know what they look like!Beer

Are you sure about that part number? It comes up as a switch assembly.

I'm going to edit my first post to show the correct number.

Sorry, guys!!

But installation requires fork removal, right?

Yes it does. If you want gaiters, it's probably worth it though -- they tend to look much better than most of the "splitable" style one you can buy.

Word to the wise, spend the money on a good set of Triumph or kawasaki gaitors. I bought these, and although they work after notching out the lower bell on the backside, it was a pain to get them tight. Harleys must have a much larger lower fork. [Image: 7e91c7ef8f5a6e023f10f1e36db468b4.jpg]

I got the same ones, bottoms too big. I was going to return them but haven't yet. Did you notch them and make them fit good on the bottom? I had considered doing that....

Yep, just cut a /\ out of the bottom with the point touching the lover bellows. It takes some time but it looks good once it's tight
