Hi-Does anyone know of a source for Rubber Fork gaitors that will fit the CB500. Do not think they were ever fitted as standard. But could do with some protection to keep winter crap off.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards Dave

Finally got round to fitting my new fork gaiters. They were fairly easy to fix once fork legs removed with care. Only problem I had was after fitting and tighten clips, could not get front mudguard back in  affraid. Just had to undo bottom clip , push gaiters up and get mudguard in.
Hoping it will keep crap off forks, and at last MOT had just changed fork seals and left a bit if oil on one leg and had advisory, fork seal leaking.Fork Gaiters Dscf0012Fork Gaiters Dscf0012

Your Bike Dave is identical to mine, I noticed the Crash Bars and the Yellow brake hose, I would have sworn that was my bike, apart from the Gators. Very Happy
Will have to look you up when weather gets warmer and compare Yellowness.

Happy Days

Look rather like my fork gaiters; I also invested in a pair after replacing the fork seals!
