Fork boots/gaiters

[haggis95]

I'm upgrading the fork springs, and adding cartridge emulators.

I have the forks off.

But how do you get the gaiters/boots off?

There's a metal ring round the bottom of the gaiter.

uhh, undo it?

[haggis95]

  I actually thought of that all by my self...

but it seems to be in one piece and I don't want to pry it off and ruin the rubber on the gaiter

Has anyone done it?

Dunno what youve got then, the std Triumph Fork gaitor clips are the same top and bottom, IE screw type, sorry cant be of help

Hmm, ok thanks.

Worldoftriumph have a different price for top and bottom?
Might I suggest you cut it (carefully) with either a Junior hacksaw or a cutting tool in a Dremmel then just fit a jubilee clip

I should have said same type, they are different sizes hence different part nos, most jubilee clips are too wide, Ive been hunting for replacements for mine for a while, only because mine look a bit rusty, Im actually thinking of using zip-ties.

You can get 6mm stainless hose clips or use 6mm stainless cable ties if you want to retain the appearance. Otherwise I'd just use normal UV stabilised cable ties.

I got them off and they tore like paper.

Are the neoprene gaiters (they are more like socks than gaiters) any good.

[Timbox2]

Im not a fan of the neoprene socks, to my mind they just hold dampness and crud against the legs
