Featured Unexpected Bonneville in the bagging area!

I did mate and they were excellent.

 

Do they fold in when you clip things, like car mirrors?

 

I'm trying not to clip things at the moment!

 

It's always good to set yourself new challenges!

 

They're attached on a ball-joint, so they will pivot if you clip something

 

Here's the link if anyone is interested.

Latest "add on" - Triumph fly screen off ebay.

 

You've too much money and time mr lovatt

 

Not anymore!

 

Hi Steve,
Could you tell me where you got your fork gaiters from.
I am planning to fit some at the same time as fitting some progressive springs to my 2012 cast wheel Bonnie.

Regards,
Mick

 

Hi Mick
Yes, I got mine off ebay I think they were £18.99 but I can't find the exact link.

 

Thanks for the prompt replies Bikerman and Steve.
Can't say I particularly like the look of the plastic stone guards, they have to go!
I just wanted to make sure that I got good quality gaiters that don't perish or split.
I would rather pay a few extra quid than fit shite but don't want to get ripped off either.

 

Does the fly screen work Steve?

 

I agree - I never liked the look of the stone guards and I fitted fork gaiters to my T100 as one of the first jobs. These seem a good quality, the rubber feels quite thick but supple so they should be OK.

 

Yes mate - it is slightly lower than the Dart flyscreen I had on the T100 but it still takes most of the wind impact off your chest so that riding along at motorway speeds is a bit more relaxing. I also like the fact it bolts directly to the headlamp and the regulator below so that there is no movement in it.

 

Er, bolting? Remember our trip to the 'bolt shop'!! Heh heh

 

I've always made sure my nuts were tight after that little episode!

 

Went on e-bay last night and hey presto!
One set of new boxed OEM gaiters for £30 incl. P&P. Well chuffed!
Plan is to fit them next Saturday when I fit the new Hagon progressive springs along with new fork oil.
