    I saw the 2011 Gas Gas fork protectors and thought red would look cool and different. Figured the 45 zoke bolt pattern would be same also. They are full wrap arounds and hopefuly may provide some more seal protection possibly too. Oredered them fro Go Fasters and they look good, fit lke OEM, and at about $38 each are not too much. Just saying in case anyone was wondering about doing it.

    Would these fit on my 2007? Are they the same forks?

    This is the stuff I like to do to my bike! :)

    I have the Ktm 2007 full wrap around shrouds like the above gasgass's- they are a little tight at the outer tube: 48mm WP versus 50mm Marzocci's. One of the friction rings came off on the outer tube- the other side is fine- I like them though... I also think the red would look sweet[IMG]

    The GG ones are neat as they must have better engineers that actually ride and have to work on their own bikes. They have a tab and slot on trail side that allows you to put them on and take off without removing wheel and sliding up fork like the KTM setip is (One piece).[IMG]

    True Dat! Also with mine (Acerbis 07 KTM 450exc) and I don't know about the GG: I can NOT use fork seal savers- its just too tight. Didn't think of that prior to purchase. Not that those seal savers are a necessity for all- but its something to concider also.

    The reason I replaced mine- was because my OEM guards cracked (shattered) in multiple places near the mounting holes... These seem much more resiliant...

    Not a new 2011, but it's new to me! This close to what you're thinking? My 2009 TXC.

    Cheers,

    So what do you guys suggest for a TE310? My stock one shattered as well?
    Do the Gas Gas ones stickers come off? are they just decals or are they embedded?
    Does anyone know where to get some Carbon Fiber ones?
