I may not live in Florida, but I had a serious problem with gaiters. I installed some this weekend, and I followed the instructions to a tee. However, one item that was not mentioned was the two rubber "washers" at the top and bottom of the headlight brackets. Once the fork tube is removed, there is nothing that really holds the brackets between the upper and lower yokes. If the rubber washers slip out of place...be prepared to spend 45 minutes trying to ease them back into place while re-installing the fork tubes.
That sucked and I was highly pissed off! The second gaiter was easier to manage because I new what to look for and how to (mostly) prevent the rubber washers from sliding out of place.
Good thing I'm going to my 500 miles service in about 10 days, I think every bolt on my bike is loose from all of the "mods" I've attempted.
Euro-gaiters, V-star mirrors, front fender plate.
M-bars will be here Tuesday to go with my football grips. I've also located some America handlebars, so I might give those a try.
