Thanks for the photo. It's certainly an easier way of doing it.

Yup. Cut it on the seam, glue it back ok the seam, turn it to the back.

I promise no ones gonna stop you when you're riding to comment on your seams, and when you're parked no one is seeing it either.

Because we don't all like to go "down under" the bike (see what I did there mate?)

It takes 5 mins to cut and glue vs put bike on lift, unbolt the stupid ****ing torx bolts, drop down, slide fork boots over, shove tubes back up, align them properly, torque to spec, take off lift. All for what? I don't see an issue with doing something a faster, simpler way to achieve the same results.

No matter how much of a badass you are, you can't tell me that's convenient.

See thats the problem, I can tell you can't see. The pics of the gaiters you showed looked retarded. They weren't cut on the seams. They weren't even cut equal distances from the seams. **** poor workmanship.

Lucky for me neither of those photos are mine, but again, I promise none of you see that **** in real life. Only when the photo is taken 4 inches away with the flash on. How bout the one below it? Nothing to say at all because you can't see the f-king seam on the backside.
