If you're in the US or Canada its kind of nice to source items right her in the US. Fork gators are pretty common, no need to order them from outside the country when they are right next door. I'm going to put a set of shock sox on my Himmy. Ive has them on my KX and Africa Twin and like them well enough. No need to remove the forks either.
Thank you for the no nonsense video. It'll help this first timer do the job right.
Thank you for the comment. Hope your project goes well.
Good video! Its always sketchy the fist time you remove bolts that RE applied Loctite too at the factory. LOL
Very true.
Why don't you try the ones from Hitchcock UK?
That was an option, and is a popular choice.
Decided to be the test subject for installing neoprene gaiters on a RE Himalayan.

I have this issue with one of my gaiters. Thanks for a possible solution.
Odd that one is always more problematic then the other.
the standard ones from RE are rubbish. stick to the forks and bunch up. good video. thanks
I find it looks...disheveled. Akin to walking around with one sock that never stays up.
