Hey Bitsa, I'm in the same boat. Maybe you could share those pics.   :)

 ;) been  as a few of you been asking this the way I do them gaitors  of course my way  may not be the right way but it works for me

push the collars up the shrouds as far as you can with the thin part up against the yolks push your gaitor up the fork leg and with your thumb and index finger push the rubber lip that's all over the lip of the fork shroud and hold it there with one hand with the other hand (thumb and finger) feed the rubber gaitor lip over the lip on the fork shroud if they are new they will be quite supple its like a poping a tyre over a rim but easier just feed it round from the outside to the inside don't use any screwdrivers just your fingers when it on all the way round just slide the chrome collar down onto the lip of the gaitor it will feel that it ain't moved far but as long as all the gaitor is on all the way round you have cracked it. the inside is the hardest part so makes sure its on  I find these eazy peezy compared to carb rubbers lol

great Steff750
but my collars won't go over the shrouds, they have been re chromed and they did them twice. perhaps i need to dremel them slightly so they do fit over the shrouds,

ps just done the carb rubbers see what you mean LOL
