Posted August 24, 201014 yr Anyone in the UK got a lead on where to get hold of fork gaiters? Pattern would be fine. I measured the ones on the bike (no idea if they are original or pattern) and they are 270 x 30 x 45. Can't see this size on e-bay. Cheers Lee
August 24, 201014 yr Moderator Rarely see them on ebay now Lee, NOS are extremely expensive from Yamaha. You could try these, they look a bit short but youre in a fix, and anyway it looks like the seller will accept a return http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Motorcycle-Fork-Gaitors-Yamaha-DT175-Twinshock-/220657603733?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts

Will carry on looking for an aftermarket item that fits. Lee

August 26, 201014 yr I bought pattern ones from Portugal off ebay for my DT and they lasted all of 3 months before disintegrating totally , OK so there is a lot of sun here !! BobC
