They've had them for quite a while but I've heard other folks say they really didn't do anything.  I hadn't wanted to waste cash if that's true.  What do the rest of y'all think?

It is a fact that the inside of the protector is not polished. However, a little polishing compund and a Dremel will take care of that if that is your desire.

I am satisfied (not overly so) with the way they work.  With them on, the vast majority of the insects are caught on the protectors or they are deflected inward and down.  Every once and a while the forks do get hit, but the section that gets hit is high up on the fork and given the way I ride that section of the fork rarely, if ever, goes below the seal.

Wish they were half the price and three times the height. Actually, I am looking into having a set fabricated just that height.

Rob, I'll send you mine if you want them ( if I can them )

looked in the Savage spares part bin - drive belt, jets,hoses, ceramic brake pads, rear shoes, 2 head plugs, head breather stainless brillo pad, throttle and clutch cables, amal carb , etc.......... but alas no fork protectors - may have pitched them, but I'll look a bit more.
