I've been running a pair of the old Meriden Triumph gaiters on my '02 BA for a few years now, but I noticed that one of 'em has separated around the circumference about half way down, and so I was wonderin' of the guys around here who have replaced their metal shrouds with gaiters, what brand do you use and where did you get yours?

Ya see, while I like the looks of those gaiters made for the older Triumphs, in order for me to get them to fit around the top of the sliders and the bottom of the triple trees, I had to slit them and then run a clamp around those locations in order for them to stay on. In other words, the top and bottom of them were juuuuuust a bit too small in circumference to fit...and so I made 'em fit...kinda.

And so, the next gaiters I get, I would like them to be designed for our bikes and the right size in order to not have to put clamps around the top and bottom of them and yet fit snugly enough so they stay in place.

Does anyone have a suggestion for me here?


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
