Fork guards for standard forks? No. They do not exist.

Sure they do! Just a bit different design. Basically mounts to the top of the bottom tube and deflects gunk off the front surface of the upper tube.
I've run these in the past coupled with standard fork gaiters for a little extra protection:

Humbled again.

They sure look different than the lower USD fork tube guards.

I guess if you remove the OEM boots, or your dirt bike didn't come with them I guess this would be an alternative. More common than I thought, I guess. I think I would just replace the boots if they wore out (assuming I could). Much more protection. I guess some road bikes don't necessarily come with the boots.

Do you got your new 2 year inspection sticker?
I got the 2 year one on my Hawk, but my KPX still has the 1 year sticker till the next time it's due, which is in the Fall

I am confused. Amazon said they couldn't guarantee the order cancellation because it was about to ship. Now the item is no longer in the order, in fact it is not even in my cancelled orders, and I never received an email about it one way or another. They still have my 26 bucks though. I have a feeling these things are going to be showing up tomorrow with the rest of that order. Normally I have 100% satisfaction with Amazon, but this time seems a bit sketchy.

It's a good skill to practice. The front wheels are definitely a little harder than the rear because of how narrow they are.

I've usually seen them on more street oriented bikes that dirt. Nowhere near as much protection as full fork gaiters obviously. I ran them for looks more than protection honestly.
