There's Gator World down in Florida -- I imagine you could strap a couple of those bad boys on your bike -- one on each side like torpedoes. You wouldn't even have to lock the fork when you parked. Just feed 'em a chicken each once in a while and they're serious security.

My buddy has a bobber and likes the look of gators too. We were at a vintage swap meet a month ago and he picked up a set at a british bike table. Lots of styles and lengths available from british/vintage suppliers.

Take a look at this site-

http://www.chopperscycle.com/page/VTS/PROD/67-111/15311

this is what the site says:

Unique styling for front forks. Measures 9 inches extended, 2 inches collapsed, 1 5/8 inches upper ID (41mm), and 2 9/16 inches lower ID (65 mm). Picture below



That seems to be what your looking for, not bad for $35.
not a bad idea... might have to get a set of those, ya think they would confuse the Bobbi with a Nightster if I had those? hehehhee



Be Safe!

I think they would look great on a bob. Looks like a lot of work to get them on. Anyone do this yet?

Dictionary says "Noun, Southern US informal for aligator."

I'm banking this is about gaiters.
