Van turns L in front of me while riding my loop about 70 miles, I saw the L blinker on I move from L rut to R rut & slowed afraid it might turn & it did.
This Video is 1 Min. 28 Sec. see action close to end. https://vimeo.com/204103416
Excellent driving on your part Sir. Glad things came out ok for you. Scary stuff.
Got my correct length Gaiters and fit them on my tubes, and test fit everything.
Only issue is the 2 different finishes on my one fork from having to mask off and respray it (tried to give it another coat and waited more than an hour, less than 7 days and it wrinkled the old one doh!)

55 MPH, I slowed quite a bit probley to 45. No, I was wearing Chaps over Jeans, Top: tee shirt, long sleeve shirt, mesh body armor long sleeve vest, Harley jacket & leather vest.I didn't have time to do any thing, almost lost control, when I locked rear wheel it skidded around to R, all I saw was a red SUV when it was over I looked around & it kept going so did I after I got hold of my self. Hadn't rode since But, I will in a few days. Oh, Harley lace up boots, thick long cuff gloves, full face Helment.

Where did you get the gaiters? I'm looking for a pair as well.
Quality? Fit? Price?
Thanks in advance.

Got em on amazon, like everything now.
Bikers Choice, sure you could get them elsewhere.
Fit is good! tight enough they dont need to be ziptied in place, only thing I noticed is I left my 'slider cover' on, and i think these were disigned to be used without them. But they still fit well, took it on 2 rides, about 50 miles, no movement yet!

Thanks. I've seen a bunch on eBay and other places for anywhere from $5 to $25 and they all look the same. I'll check out the Bikers Choice then.
130 miles today, my first commute of the year. Took a trip to the dealer on my lunch break, and lots of other bikers were there. Spring is in the air, woo hoo!
