I'll give a look around and see what's out there that will work. Though from the last search I did I think the top has to be around 42mm and the bottom 64mm for gaiters to work?I heard these will work
TRIUMPH BSA NORTON BRITISH BIKE FORK GAITORS 160MM 42MM 62MM | eBay
Triumph BSA Norton British bike fork gaitors. And 160mm long. Bottom =62mm. Size top = 42mm. A new set of black fork gaiters. These are very good quality fork gaiters made from very stretchy rubber not the plastic type.www.ebay.com
but don't hold me to it.
In other news did the LCD cluster flip because staring at the white lit background was killing my eyes at night. Looks much sleeker now:
Got a streak in it as you can see. A bit of a pain but I am more lazy to redo it at this point 🤣

Good find on partzilla, I used Ronnies Mail Order since they are in my state! But I might have to cancel them and order these up since they have them.These weren't available?

Yesterday was busy wrenching away in the garage while it was 90* outside. After 3.5 hours the job was done.

The fork stone guards was a trifling bitch to get off. It took a bit before I realized I should probably take heat to it. I ended up using a wooden chopstick and a rubber mallet to wedge off the first guard which took about 20 minutes to pry off. The second one took me three minutes 🤣
Bike shifts smooooooother with the Motul. Though I have only ever used 300V on my racebikes I am happy to see how this oil does.
Also, if anyone is complaining about the brakes, like I was, definitely opt up for a double sintered set of pads before you do lines or a new master cylinder. This was quite a cheap upgrade over stock and stops on a dime.

Changed to sequential signals front and back, LED bulb for headlight, LED Plate lamp, new grips, new mirrors, Puig windscreen and I installed 2 USB ports for accessories. One QD harness for plugging in a heated jacket, and a wireless phone holder/charger. Removed the pannier racks and passenger footpegs, adjusted suspension. And put some covers and bolts to cover and holes or unsightly crevices. Oh and mini spools. Waiting on the Akro exhaust and some other bits.

That’s Helios, It gets ridden hard and put away wet. It lives a hard but happy life as my main bike.

Front headlight and new LED are bright! Very bright. I had to lower the lens and refocus the beam because I was blinding drivers.

I finally made up my mind and swapped the stock mirrors for round bar end mirrors. After the first ride I'm happy to report there are no regrets, even though I obviously have to look slightly further down, the field of view is actually much improved and my elbows are no longer blocking most of the view.
