burton500 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 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.

Moderator Airhead Posted August 24, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will carry on looking for an aftermarket item that fits. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
