I used Kawasaki OEM Part 49006-1335 and the fit 'n' finish was very good and durable after all day sunshine, everyday. Never had to treat them with any protectant.
gives it that glossy rubber look lol tod.branko_imp
Been there
Yup, mine are made for a Street Twin, perfect fit.

I am getting interested in these gaiters! I found some cheaper (than OEM Kawa) options on the interweb. The top I should look at is 41mm - but can someone tell me what the diameter is of the bottom? And the length?
Mine are already on the bike so it wouldn't be possible to stretch it out on the fork to get a length measurement for you. However this is the exact listing I ordered.. for 24$ by the time you measure the diameters for something cheaper it could already be shipped to ya

Aside from looks they will also help keep those fork seals cleaner for longer, before I installed i made sure I wiped the fork tube down with some corrosion inhibiter. However it had a great seal to the fork to keep water out, they have a hole at the bottom to allow any moisture to drain out though as a fail safe.

Thanks for the info! The only issue I see is that I would have to pay more for shipping than for the gaiters!mvk24_imp said:Mine are already on the bike so it wouldn't be possible to stretch it out on the fork to get a length measurement for you.

How do you like the tank pads? I was thinking of getting them for mine.mvk24_imp said:

The tank pads were cut from magnetic sheets I bought from MagKnight.
A few years ago one of the members here posted a pattern and I used that as my guide.
They stick in place very well and have never moved.
