Hawk 250 fork boots

Lowfatbaconwrap · 04-19-2018, 12:22 AM

Love the hawk. Been riding it all day. Plenty of power after the mods I did. The only thing I absolutely hate about it is the fork boots. It feels very 80s to me. Is there a replacement that anybodies used on their Hawks that looks better?

There's a good selection of red ones on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...red+fork+boots

What's wrong with the 80's? Lots of awesome things came out of the 80's... like me lol.

Fork Gaiters have been around well before the 1980's, and are used for a very good reason = it helps protect the fork seals from debris,

You don't need to use them, but be prepared to make yourself a seal cleaning tool and keeping a close eye on the fork tubes for excessive fork oil.

There is a reason for black fork boots. Black hinders ultra-violet light (sunlight) hence protecting the plastic....ARH
