Default Fork Gators

Been thinking about putting Fork Gators on my 48 like are on the Nightster. Seems like I've seen somewhere that somebody sells the ones you don't have to remove the fork tubes to install. Can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anybody know where to get these? Thanks.

The correct spelling is "gaiters". Might help your internet search a bit.

Nothing wrong with it, just thought it would look good with "gaiters"

How a company would make gaiters that don't require the forks to be slid down is beyond me. I used some shock covers from a set of shocks I had for my 4 runner. They fit great on my wide glide.

I have Nightster gaiters on my 48, you have to cut out the little rubber nodules on the insides to make them sit properly, but I think they look great and really add to the 'old school' vibe.
