Shock covers

[creteman]

Anyone install shock covers to protect and keep them clean like the fabric tube sleeves used on ATV if so where did you get them?


Thanks Jim

I got some rubber ones for my K75RT. I think I got them from Bob's BMW. Make sure you get the right length.

My local dealer got the ones I used on my GS out of some catalog. That was 6 or 7 years ago.

I made one for my front shock from a square foot of black marine-grade vinyl. Less than $5 at the local material outlet.
Measure the outside diameter and multiply by Pi to get the circumference; add 1/4" for "slip & slide" over the spring; and add another 1" for overlap (my total was about 10");
Trim down the [to be] "Vertical" side to allow access to any adjusters;
Glue it together & have the local shoe-repair shop add some stitching for reinforcement ($5 at my local guy);
Use some ty-wraps (I used 6) to anchor it to the top coil of the spring, and Viola!
(I have a Hugger on the rear wheel, so the shock stays fairly clean.)
