Fork Seal Protectors??

[670cc]

Must spend a lot of time washing down the radiator.

The evidence would suggest the opposite is true.

Sorry we're picking on you, misterk. A muddy bike is actually a badge of honor, assuming you didn't crash.

don't take any notice of these LAZY folks misterk. what a load of codswallop,a muddy bike is a badge of honor .
just pure laziness that's all.
washing your bike down will help to keep it value(but it wont stop it value going down) .
two bikes one clean one and one that never been washed which would you choose?
oh and dont give me that b*llshit its well maintained but a dirty marked bike.
you look after your bike misterk coz your not a lone I to like to keep my bike clean.
oh and while your washing the bike down you can inspect if theres any thing that needs seeing to.

I see you didn't take Johnakay's advice

Northwest rider,
I see in addition to fork protectors you have a fender extender and radiator guard to keep the mud off/out of the radiator. Easier to prevent the mud build up and overheating of the engine then to treat the problem after if occurs. I used the same strategy to protect the radiator on my Versys.

The rad guard is a one off prototype from ALTrider,they used my bike to mock up NC products that they decided not to produce.They might start selling the guard but when they gave it to me they were not available.I bought my NC for extended off road trips so I set it up to survive.

It appears that the Altrider radiator guards are now in stock. I'm still waiting for their skidplate.

Looks like they offer the skid plate as well

Last I heard they have put most of the NC stuff on hold to cater to the KTM and BMW guys.

why p*ss about buy off Dale of south bound Honda.

Here is (IMHO) the simplest solution of all. Totally covers the chrome portion, washable, full length Velcro strip up the back so NO FORK REMOVAL needed.
A buddy has these on his bike. Took all of 5 minutes to install them both. He removes them every couple of weeks to wipe down the chrome with a lightly WD40'd rag.
And NO..., in case you were wondering, I do NOT work for these guys.

ALTrider is a local Seattle company with 3-4 employees that you can walk right in and talk to the designer.Dale is also local to me so it comes down to price for me.

Me too. I want to protect the seals, but I don't like the look of the rubber gaiters, nor the neoprene style boots...I'll be ordering the Triumphs

The old links in this post for the Triumph fork protectors are DOA. The best I can tell THESE links are working and are the same (one is taller than the other)
#A9641010: Triumph. Kit fork protector

 

[oldhack]

The Triumph fork protectors are the bomb. Overpriced for simple plastic especially after shipping charges, but they look like an OEM accessory.

 

[bvogel7475]

Just curious if anyone has had their fork seals fail from rock or bug damage. It seems that just cleaning this area on a regular basis would be enough. I could see this being a must if you did a lot of offroad or gravel road riding, but it seems like overkill for most of us who ride the NCX on the road.

I ride mostly on road, but I noticed quite a few good sized chips and dings in the plastic protectors when replacing my fork seals at 55k miles this weekend. I'm sure they chip easier than the metal forks, but it's relatively cheap protection and peace of mind.

New link for triumph parts - A9641010 - Triumph Kit fork protector. Tools, Equipment, Motorcycle | Cross Country Cycle, Metuchen NJ

None of the links in the prior posts worked for me - I assume this is the same thing based on part number A9641010. This is $15 each and about $8 shipping.

If I am wrong please correct me, or you find a cheaper source.

OH -not sure if the kit includes left and right - looks like prior comments said kit is 2 protectors so would be total of $22.95 with shipping vs. $37.95.
