g.rasp Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 The jitsie carbon fibre or kevlar ones are good quality I have the kevlar ones whick just clip tightly around your fork leg. Got them from BVM motors about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Got the plastic ones to ride/protect bike at SSDT, did an excellent job and still on now looking slightly scuffed, but at least the forks are as good as new. Naff, only in your opinion, both do the same job i.e protect your forks Plastic ones cheap, Carbon ones OUCH !!!! The carbon ones will not make you ride the bike better Feetup Trialsport speak to Allen 01723 865 577 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taff Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 WellI 'm Welsh, not Scottish. But why pay more? As Gizza says............They both do the same job. That's why I got the plastics. Hey your opinion, & your wallett.....Get the Carbon Fibre way cheaper than paying for new forks.........honest. The next topic will be "Why use a mudguard? I like the idea, but, it looks girlie. what do you guys think"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-shock 250 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 That's going too far, you would need some fork protector protectors to stop THEM getting scratched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Here's a pic of my Montesa, with the Jitsie Carbon fork guards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 The other side.............I think they look the business and have been on since new. They are a snug fit.............to say the least and you need to take the wheel out to fit and gently tap them up from the bottom of forks, with a rubber mallet.........to avoid damaging them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
