Featured It's out with the spanners then

I have the same screen on mine - also an ebay bargain!

 

Let's us know what you think of the fly screen. But all of that for that price was very good

 

It keeps the worst of the wind off your chest making 70 mph plus riding more comfortable.
They are £125.00 plus £10.82 for the bracket from World of Triumph - mine was £42.00 on ebay.
Other bargains - both boxed and brand new off ebay:

Throttle body caps: WOT £50.00 - ebay £19.99.

Filler cap: WOT £55.00 - ebay £19.00

 

Keep looking on ebay!
I chose the black ones to go with the bike

 

My panniers also off Ebay, also with a Dart Flyscreen.

 

Nice picture Steve.
Seeing the fork gaiters on your previous pics convinced me to change my plastic stone guards which I did last week.
Dropped lucky when I bought my Bonnie as it already had the screen, centre stand, rack and datatool alarm fitted.

 

That was one of the original ideas of the screens to protect you in poor weather, plus of course the aerodynamics for racing.
Don't let the weather put you off if you fancy a ride.

 

Hi all,
I too like the look of gaiters, how difficult is it to fit them,I assume its forks out to slide them on ?

 

Not a hard job if you have a centre stand. Get someone to push the bike back down onto its rear wheel and wedge a block of wood under the frame. This gives just enough clearance to drop the front wheel and then you can remove one fork at a time. Good instructions can be found here.

 

i wonder why they don't make them like leg gaiters,you would be able to fit them in 2 mins if they did

 

Hey Steve, throw your block of wood away or give it to somebody with a log burner.
Take a look at this for £38 incl. P&P

 

Spec is 500kg which is perfect for the Bonnie
Adjustable cradle width for the frame and height adjustment from the male thread on each cradle.
I like simple mechanical devices, it has a nice smooth movement and nothing much to go wrong.
Absolutely brlliant for the the money

 

That does look neat but my block of wood was free!

 

Bugger though having to get a second person to press down on the back while you get your 'free' piece of wood in place.
On a serious note of caution, I noticed on my bike that the sump fins are slightly lower than the frame tubes, I wouldn't advise resting those on the wood.

 

Hi phantom,
It depends what you class as difficult.
1) 'crack' the spindle and brake mounting bolts. (Better done before the bike is jacked up)
2) gently tap the plastic protector upwards releasing it from its location groove. (Easier done now)
3) Jack the bike up safely and high enough to remove the front wheel
4) remove the brake caliper and 'tie up' out of the way and to support the hose
5) remove the wheel. (Note the spacers etc.)
6) remove the mudguard
7) slacken the top and bottom fork yoke bolts and gently ease the leg downwards
8) remove the plastic stone protector
9) thoroughly clean and apply rubber grease to the gaiter area
10) fit the gaiter leaving the top clip undone till last
11) re-assemble using correct torque values
12) the vent holes on the gaiter face outwards when clamping, I used the rubber moulding 'split line' to visually centralise it to the bike before clamping the top clip.

Job done!
Difficult or not ? Your decision, we are always here for help and advice and we want you to be safe

It's also a good time to change your fork oil or upgrade your springs while the legs are out, which I did.
