Anyone know if you can still get fork / disk guards for RWU forks?

Used to be able to get them years back but I havent seen any around for a while Confused

Are you talking about the plastic guards that seem to be used on all offroad/mx bikes nowadays, or the rubber gaitors that actually go over your stanchion?

They used to bolt onto the bottom of RWU forks and cover both the disc / caliper and lower fork - you still used gaitors on the upper Wink

I seem to remember that they were pretty cheap too Confused

plenty of just the disc guards about, eg acerbis spider on egay - I remember the type you want though, had a look through dirtbikestore and racespec and no go, a bummer that is.

Do you mean plastic guards for the fork legs, or rubber boots?

No rubber boots, more like a plastic guard that zip tied to the legs, with the brake side having a large cover for the disk / caliper as part of it Wink

Generally the brake guards tended to be more specific to the bike I believe.
