Front Shock Covers.

FastKX500:
Yea I have a 89 500 and My front boots on my shocks were really ugly and beat up so I took them off, is this okay? I mean the new bikes dont even have them, I was just wondering...Thanks Guys.

Paul:
The new bikes have plastic hard covers over the fork legs. The ONLY purpose those covers and the ones that came on your bike serve is to protect the fork slider.

So that makes them fairly important.

teamgreen500:
Those forks you've got are some of the nicest pieces ever put on a stock KX. Take good care of them. Protect the tubes. If all you can find are the blue stockers...then get'em. You might try late model ('89 or newere, actually...) KDX Fork Boots.

Good Luck,

Manny

I've been thinking about getting these for my '04 KX-500 just for added protection.  I always thought they were just BS until I saw them on Ty Davis' bike at the 24 hrs of Glen Helen.  So I thought hell, they must do some good...
