Touratech Fork Guard
Anyone got them? Any good? Or better just get the usual rubber gaiters?
I just received mines and then I'm not so sure anymore, so anyone who tried and tested them, I'd love to hear about that!
Cheers!
This is what Touratech says:
"Specially developed for the F650GS and with the help of a dear customer, a fork guard for the front wheel forks. The guards are fitted on the top to the side of the fender cover with special clamps. Te fork protectors are then held in position by guides that are also fitted to the lower cross stabiliser. If low mudguards are used these may have to be cut into a somewhat here. But this isn't really a problem, especially with Touratech mudguards.
But the decisive advantage of these fork guards is that unlike traditional rubber gaiter fork guards, the cross section of air for the water cooler is not reduced.
Also all sealing rings and fork spars are constantly accessible. Thus a leak or other damage can easily be remedied. Even mud can be removed quite easily. – No more hidden problem areas. Very simple and easy to fit."
