    They are fork shrinked mate

    They are for Motorcross bikes to protect the forks,you slip them on then heat them up just as you would heat shrink on wiring

    A bit of gold peaking through the RH leg?

    Looks good though. Great protection I would imagine.

    What sorta money that set you back?

    Very interesting protective covering, I presume they are tubular and you have to remove the fork leg ?
    What made you choose this method over fork gaiters ?
    I saw some similar shock absorber protective wraps the other day.

    I thought Id try something different and the gators don't go top to bottom,I thought as I was putting the cafe fairing on that it wouldn't be much more work to do this and is wasn't if I'm honest oh and matey cut me a deal as he has never sold any for road bikes before

    Will they not scrunch up with the constant movement of the forks ?

    Whats the benefit of that then ?
    I've noticed some of the rear shocks are like that.
    Has the world gone mad?

    That's a nice looking bike DD
    Well explained, I don't think that I will need them either then, quite happy bouncing about with my new progressive springs up front.
    Too posh for me in that Thruxton forum, I'll have to retreat humbly back to my Bonneville forum where we have proper forks. lol
