XT600 1Vj fork gaitors

Post by wub »

So found a 1984 xt600 1VJ in white and gold wheels. lovely unmolested, original condition, and snapped it up. Very excited! It does need a pair of red fork gaiters / boots as the originals have perished and split. Anyone recommend where to get a good set from, that will last? I know there are loads for sale, but some are going to be micky mouse and you cant tell till they arrive.

Remember that the bellows needs to be wider than the clamp positions.. some will fit the first part of the lower fork but not the full bit

I ordered a pair from Aliexpress(Link below), but these are shit and will definately not fit so steer clear of those. Kedo also has a sets available, but yellow ones were not in stock at the time that I wished to purchase them.
