Question Who has Gators?

Anyone with gators on their Classic Triple? I was thinking about putting them on mine, thought it would be a good look but wanted to see some on others.
then the best question on how to install them.

Fork Gaiters

I do. Bought them for Sprint Manufacturing for something like $39. They are somewhat difficult to install as you have to tear your forks apart to do it. I changed my fork fluid though while I was at it and am glad because I had regular bluish looking fork oil in one side and what looked like ATF in the other. The volumes and viscosities were no where near equal.

Not the greatest picture but it will give you and idea of how it looks:

Hi! In my album you can see a couple of photos of my Legend with the gaitors that I fixed not long ago. I had problems with the size of the photos and couldnīt include them here. They are a little long since are from a Husqvarna but I like a lot the new look.

No, no. It's just that I remembered TexasTri had posted these pics in a thread back when he performed the mod.

TonyD,
Thanks for posting the picks of my Legend. I got the gaitors from BellaCorse and really like them.
