Fork Guards

Post by rdsrf »

Anyone know where I can find some wrap around type fork guards for a 2003 KX 125 front end? I've only been able to find the stock replacement type that primarliy covers the front of the fork tube. Thanks for any help!

what are the wrap around kind? you mean like the highly attractive accordian type ones you would find on the stock forks? My '03 guards are aftermarket, from one of those Eyetalian companies. under those I have seal savers. I have no idea of their real value to the marine mammals, but hey I'm just trying to do my part.

I'm afraid that's all you will find. Go with some Seal Savers in conjunction with your stock fork guards... mine are on their 3rd season and are still like new and no nicks in the forks. Seals are still like new!!!

Any issues with moisture (corrosion) getting trapped in the seal savers?

Furry mammal savers work fine.

Mine get wet..if not from riding, from washing later. I've never fussed with taking them off..I've not found a speck of corrosion anywhere when I've taken them off for fork service. I run long savers...all the way down to the axle.

I don't ride in the sand (salt water environs). That may be different.

BTW...I have on a Moose set at the moment. They are not the quality of the furry mammal savers. They split after a couple of rides.

God bless you, Mike. Bless the beasts...AND the children!!! For in this world they have no voice. They have no choice!!!! :cry:
