Fork Gaiters...how are they installed?

[Detman101]

Hey all, I was thinking about getting some fork gaiters.

Would I have to take the forks out to install them or do they just split and slip around the fork sliders?

You need to remove the forks and put the fork tubes through the gaitors.

Ah crap. Okay. I'll order them anyway.
Thanks Earl.

Funny thing, whenever you think there might be any easy way, you can count on not being able to do it that way. LOL

Dang...I was afraid of that! My bike has "fork gaiters" on it (bought it that way), and I was wondering how I would check the fork seals. Sounds like a bunch of work. Would the gaiters keep the seals in shape?

You should be able to pull the gaiters up enough to check the seals.
