mikeswe Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Anyone installed fork leg protection? Legs are rather exposed and it looks like there is room for the clamp on type protectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted August 22, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 22, 2016 I had some 3M clear bra material left over from some other projects so I cut some pieces to fit and put it on. Time will tell how it does. It's hard to see without looking closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted August 22, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 22, 2016 Think he is talking about the plastic protectors found on other models that are clipped on the the forks. See part 20 on fiche http://www.bike-parts-honda.com/pieces-honda-detail-15262-13MCW601-VFR800A8-2008-F__1000-VFR+800+VTEC+ABS.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosfandango Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I have fitted gaitors designed for a CBR600, a bit 'old school' but they protect the forks. a little bit of silcon grease on the fork legs ensures no friction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshoutybloke Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I was considering a pair of those too, I think they'll be on the 'to do' list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old school but it works. I suppose you had to drop the forks to mount them? I was originally thinking of these types: http://www.traxxion.com/Fork-Guard-Kit-for-conventional-forks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinigami Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I was a little surprised to see the plastic deflectors deleted from the 6th get model to this one, but after 21K miles I still don't have anything getting through to that part of the legs. Not even much in the way of bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
