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.

Give it a minute to update. They probably got the order cancelled. The last time I cancelled it acted the same, and then it updated in the morning and showed cancelled.

Yeah that 26 bucks could fill my tank and I'd still have enough money for a cheeseburger.

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.
