Guest Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Hi allJust got my 1st Bike09 Reg ER6FGot the dealer to put a Scottoiler and Crash Bobbins on600 mile service imminent and I am thinking about fork protectorsThoughts anyone Quote
Guest Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I had them on my zx6... got them cheap off ebay, and could have saved me a lot of money, easy to fit too, so i would say yes... Quote
Roadtorque Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Forks are easy to keep clean & a wipe with a bit of oil keeps them good as new,,, BUTa hugger is a must & keep your eye on the two cross members fwd of the rear wheel, without the hugger they take all the hammer from road dirt, even with the hugger they still pick up a lot, I had my ER new in 06 & those two areas will be the ones you need tokeep on top of, A big blob of thick grease should do the job Good bikes the ER's just about to swop mine for,,,,,,, another ER,, sadly not the 09, they moved the rear handles from the top to the side, so my Givi panniers won't fit the new models,found an 07 with only 1175 miles on it & pick it up tomorrow Quote
Colin the Bear Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I'd go for them. Oil won't protect against stone chips. A chip in the chrome of the fork leg can write it off. Quote

Normally I would agree Col, but on the ER most of the chrome on the forks is under the fairing,I still stick to the hugger for first thing to buy, to stop all the wet & crap getting into all thenooks crannies & electrics under the seat area,, Quote
