Bonneville Fork Gaiters

I would have the holes facing backwards. Seems logical to do so.

But hey, what do I know?

Well ... I know it seems logical to have the holes facing backwards.

 

Have to concur in that, facing backwards so no rain forced in and also presumably be at lowest point to allow them to drain, if required.

 

Face towards the motorcycle, as in towards the rear as opposed to away from ie facing forwards. Makes sense to me on this occasion but on a different day maybe not!

 

I would think its so you can see if you have blown a fork seal

 

I put mine facing backwards

 

Just looked at mine and they are facing backwards, fitted years ago by a triumph main dealer.

 

I followed the official Triumph fork gaiter fitting instructions which as you stated said holes to the outside, which I did.
Couldnt quite understand the reasoning for it but with it being so specific an instruction I complied.
Still much improved on the plastic stone guards.

 

Sounds like using a bit of common sense is going to be best.
I am going to turn mine inwards as your observations from the show suggest.
Thanks for the feedback.
