    Fork Gaitor Clip

    Does anyone know where I can get some thin clips similar to the original ones used to fix the fork gaitors? They“re a lot thinner than standard jubilee clips. Honda want around £8 each for them! Parts 27 & 28 in the pic below.

    I've got a set of them spare, top and bottom, used but still good. Photo attached. They would need cleaning up and maybe a respray with some Hammerite smooth or something similar. If you want them pm me and I'm sure we can do something.
    Regards

    I had to cut mine off when having the fork inserts fitted and also couldn't source any locally that were thin enough. Oddly, after pulling the gators back into position they haven't moved and seem a very tight fit with no clips at all. I should really get some though!

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Just what i was going to say, . . i use them on my trail bikes, never had a problem and if you want to check the legs are clean just snip the tie off and put a new one on when finished.
