Hi, my '13 racer needs the fork gaitors (rubber tubes on fork) to be changed. They all teared up...i m changing them under warranty. Are these easy to change? Are they inserted from below of the forks or from above ?thanks

LOL. My shiny new V7 II looked like this for a couple months:
I sent the forks off to have cartridges installed. I put gaitors on when I replaced the forks.
Too bad it takes $300 worth of labor to replace $20 gaiters. Seems like someone could make a waterproof material cover that wraps around the fork and velcro to itself or zips up. Made of the right material with some stuffing to give it just a little body they could be very nice looking, easy to install and clean and could even be offered in colors or with brand insignias. Wish I could sew.
Looks like another stolen invention, dang. Also, looks like a modified beer can or beer bottle insulated holder thing might work
