I haven't seen these on here before so thought I would post
my results . They go on easy and fit well. I like the zipper idea.

These are very similar to Shock Sox, which I've ran on my dirt bikes for years. Except instead of a zipper, Shock Sox wrap and use hook and loop fasteners. They do a great job of keeping dust/dirt/mung out of the seal area. Easy to R&R when washing. I need to get a set for my Super Ten.

I know some claim these don't work, or are more detrimental than beneficial. But, I just can't see that logic. Especially given how easy it is to remove, clean, and reinstall.

At the end of every hard off road ride, it's really a 5 minute job to remove and clean. Dry overnight and reinstall.

these go over the forks, they are not like the kriegas with the Velcro down the side.
That said, I simply hose them down, and let dry in the installed position, no issues.

If I had these, my first fork seal that started leaking could have been prevented. (turned out it was small piece of grit that could have been taken out by a fork seal saver from motion pro)
I now have about 20km on these, and will replace them when I'm doing my fork oil this winter.

little MOney well spent.

As I was saying, Shock Sox have velcro (hook and loop). Always have, to my knowledge.

May I ask where you found yours for the Super Ten?
