Choosing the colour

All colours give the same protection: pick the one that matches your other plastics or your graphics.

When to replace it?

• Fork guards cracked or broken, mounting points torn out.
• Warped plastic rubbing on the inner tube.
• Faded colour, or different from the rest of the plastics.

Check the bike's model year: the fork guards follow the shape of the fork lowers and the routing of the front brake hose.

Fitting tips

1. Remove the old fork guards and keep the screws and the hose clamps.
2. Clean the fork lowers and check the condition of the inner tubes and of the fork oil seals.
3. Refit the new ones, putting the brake hose back in its guides, then tighten without forcing.
