Fork Gaiters
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Hope the metal behind the Gaiters is not like mine were - well rusted.

I was lucky. The chrome behind the gaitors was fine on both. Not the case for the area covered by the headlight shrouds. One was clean, the other was pitted. I cleaned it up and put a coat of ACF50 on. Will be fine for now.
Trigger:
Great that you have them fitted now Martin ;)
Bryanj:
The bit inside the headlamp brackets was not chromed in thevfirst place

I got some brand new genuine Honda fork gaiters from Yamiya a couple of years ago .. one of them has a split in it... even though the bike has never been on the road since the chassis was rebuilt ! The original 1969 ones had done 46k miles and not split at all ... only hardened a bit at one end. Trigger sold me some genuine NOS ones to replace them, which are hopefully from supply a few years back. Problem with Yamiya is that it's hard enough ordering from them in the first place, never mind returning anything. If you complain or question anything it's as if their honour that is at stake and they dig their heels in. The world seems to have forgotten how to compound rubber properly any more. So many aftermarket rubber parts are sh$te and seems that you can't even trust genuine Honda any more. :(
