Title: Fork boots & fork brace?
Post by barry68v10 on 05/01/07 at 17:02:19

Does anyone know if you can put fork boots on with a fork brace? How would a guy protect his forks with a superbrace?

I got the brace long after I had installed the fork boots. The boots slipped over the fork seals & stayed put but with the fork brace they rested on top of the brace. Occasionally one side would stick to the fork & rise up so I cut off the bottom/verticle part of the boot & glued the flat part of the boot to the brace. Sort of a Jethro Bodine style solution but it worked. There are probably better methods but that's all I could come up with at the time.

Well, I like that solution better than the one I THought I had, which meant, brace = no boots. I like the looks of the boots, but thought I couldnt since I have the brace. Now,, well, maybe someday i get the boots.
