YES. All needed hardware consists of two bolts and two nylock nuts. Can't get much easier.

I have been using the Hippo Hands fork gators for about 6 months now. They are great. If you are going off road a lot, then traditional gators would be better. Something caused a nick in my left fork tube last year and the whole tube had to be replaced. I did not feel like dealing with this again. I really like the look of hard plastic covers but they are more expensive and I could not find any for the nc (last year). The hippo hands gators install in minutes, are easy to clean, and add another reflective patch on the bike. My forks always look squeaky clean. For 20 buck, if they last a couple years then they've paid for themselves! Just my opinion of course.
Wimp,Go to a Yama dlr and get a set for the Yama Bolt they work great
Wimp,
How about a photo? What is the Yamaha part number and what is selling price at the Yamaha dealership?
I saw Hippo Hands website has an alternative style of fork gaiters available. It's a super simple design, just a piece of heavy duty nylon reflectorized fabric with velcro fasteners. Installation is ten seconds to wrap it around the fork and you're done. Aesthetics aside, would this approach acheive the same function as the traditional gaiters?
