Anyone have a good source for a set of neoprene fork covers? I think they use zip ties to secure to top and bottom of fork.

Thanks

Have the continuos material seal protectors that require you to take off the forks fallen out if favor? Are they even available any more?

They seem like an incredible pain to install, by since there's no split in the material (fastened by Velcro or super), would seem better at keeping out fine grit for that reason.

They also accumulate crud which beds into the neoprene and promotes wear of the fork inner tubes. OK to use for short periods when lots of mud to be encountered, but then take them off and wash them ready for next time, else why do you want them? Generally cause more grief than they address IMHO.

I'm a fan of Shock Sox. Used them on my dirt bike and now have them on my Super Tenere. They keep mung and crap away from the seal area and are simply to remove ad re-install when washing the bike.
