    Sheeze you're heading for the Dangermouse. The fork gaiters will save my precious forks when all them quick guys on the cool orange bikes go roosting past. $120 bits of rubber are way cheaper than rechroming or new $mega fork tubes. Oh and its called a Varadero, Click image for larger version.

    Got some pannier racks on.
    I used this brand, SW-Motech, on the KTM and was impressed with how well they fitted. Their 650GS ones are just the same, a nice neat fit well tucked in close to the bodywork, and detachable.

    I was always dissapointed with the Givi ones on my transalp which seemed to stick out way too far.
