Darren: as for work of the devil, fitting gaiters may encourage indolence - generated by all that free time I will have not changing fork seals or pitted stanchions.
On what planet is it good engineering practice to expose highly polished and precision ground chromed steel components to grit /salt and water - I do like a controversy
I suspect that gaiters were lost when an accountant not an engineer decided there was more profit without them on new bikes, no first cost and lots of extra spare part sales. They became "fashionable" like that and we are where we are today.
My maxtonised forks owe be best part of a bag of sand so £9 to protect them is money well spent - if I can get them to work with the mudguard mounting.
