Basic Neoprene Fork Gaiters Yesterday I also got round to another simple but time based job…. As much as i love the gold accents to my bike. IE Engine and Forks they really don’t match well… Thats also goes for the Electronic Suspension being Blue anyways this meant i needed to just sort some of that out and the forks were the ones i went for… I ordered a few weeks ago some neoprene fork gaiters to cover the gold forks and protect them and match the colour more… So after finding out the ones i had ordered were already …

Anyways after getting a call Friday …
