After replacing a few sets of fork seals and TWO fork tubes due to stone damage, I decided to install a set of Fork Gaiters.

I found exactly what I was looking for at this site: http://hippohands.com/Fork%20Protectors.htm

I don't feel like going out to the garage and photographing them on my bike because this photo shows everything quite well and they look the same on the XX. BTW... because of the fairing on the Blackbird, they really aren't visible.



Dan Klestorny answered my questions promptly and after sending him a photo and the measurements of the XX front fork, he made a set of Gaiters that is a perfect fit for the XX.

The total cost for the Gaiters was $16.95 included shipping. MUCH CHEAPER than replacing fork tubes and fork seals.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THIS PRODUCT

Wierd, the guards that are on our bike now keeps of 90% of rock chips as it is. How do you manage to need to replace your fork seals so often? I've got almost 130k kms on my bike and never needed to replace those.

Damn Do you use the XX for off-road trips?

Ride 30,000+ miles in Metropolitan Detroit and then ask me those questions.

The roads are so shitty that it's damn near the same as being off-road.

Damn I thought the roads up here were bad.....
