Fork gaiters

[John d]

In a previous post I mentioned there was slight contact of the gaiters to the brake lines. Actually there is plenty of clearance to the left brake line. One of the two right brake lines were contacting which I solved this by rotating the brake lines in the brake line holder above the caliper.

Here the brake line to the bottom banjo is on the outside in the holder.

Here the same brake line is on the inside of the holder. When this is done there is plenty of clearance.

No more worries about bugs, road tar, brake dust, dirt, etc. from wearing out my seals, fork tubes and bushings.

Did you remove the forward facing shield on the top of the slider before adding the bellows, or do they fit under the bellows without interfering with their function?

Yes, I popped them off.

When they are off, it exposes the groove that you zip tie against.
