stormy normy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Ok, if i tell you this you've got to promise not to tell anyone........ Go to Wickes DIY and by a six foot length of the shed guttering down tube in dark brown approx 2 inch in diameter. Cut it to the length of the fork leg and then cut a 3/4 inch strip out of it top to bottom. Cover it in carbon fibre look-a-like and hey presto. I've done it to mine and it works real well but sorry to say I hav'nt got the digi photos to prove it. The only down side is that it doesnt flare out to cover the fork seals. Thats it ive told you now, everyone will be doing it !!! Stormy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essex rider Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 The ones on BVM are the jitsie ones. Ebay sometimes has a few on. If not there are the plastic ones on sammy millers or gasgas shop.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
