Keeway Fork Gaiters

Hi All,
Fitted a pair of Royal Enfield fork Gaiters(perfect fit) to the Keeway to protect the forks.
Ordered them last Friday morning and couldn't believe they were here on Monday from India!!
Changed the fork oil as well. Filled with 10W medium.





I like the stainless steel clips supplied with the gaiters all for €19 inc postage.

Good idea. Any improvement in the forks with the new oil? Did you use the same volume that the forks originally had?

I am going to do a fairly decent journey in the morning and I will post how I got on. The quantity removed from each leg was 125ml. I put 150ml back in of new oil.

Hard to tell if the oil change made any difference after my trip to Clare today.
I had no detail on the original oil but the forks seem to be the same. I will try 15W next time around.
