Worn gaitors!
#1



My gaitors, after only 4 mo. on the bike, have split apart. Is there a 'good brand' i should be getting? Got mine from a U.S. shop for $25. The bike wasn't even in the sun, though here in Arizona it does get dry and hot!

Thks!

The gaiters on my old 11 year old Triumph Bonnie still look good. They came off a 2000-2001 Kawasaki W 650, so when I went to buy gaiters for my Cb, that's what I got. if you go that route be prepared to pay $100 for a pair of them.

You are not the first one out of Arizona to have this issue, but it could just be that fact that they are made of cheaper rubber. Who knows.

Yes you get them at a Kawasaki dealer

I believe they are part number 49006-1335
