You need to buy a whole new motorcycle.



Ok, what are you trying to do? What's the project? What do you need? What do you not know if you need?

[lochridge]

got an r80st and would like to add these to the forks.......that is all.

do i need item numbers 1,2,3,4
or just item number 3

If you don't have the rubber boots on the forks what do you have? Do you have the smaller sliders, # 6? Or everything is missing? If you don't have them you will at least need the hose clamps, #1. I don't know what #2 is, it doesn't look like the fork seal. #4 looks like the hold off for the brake line, you might have #21 instead so can do with out #4 maybe. #5 looks like the wiper that the little sliders use, these don't work very well at keeping out dirt.

you need #2, it's a doughnut that slides over the fork that the hose clamp attaches the gaiter to. There is a little pin the will slide the doughnut up into the bottom clamp. you should alread have #4, if not you can always use a zip tie. So the gaiter and the doughnut is all you should need.! Oh, and the fancy, skinny, bmw pipe clamps #1.

#6 is on there for sure, so i assume #5 is as well.

it is just 1-4 that i wasn't sure about.

When you get your 2's there is a small hole, it's a vent.
The G/S has a roll pin through each side of the lower triple to which a hose running into the back of the headlight is attached.
The G/S triple was also drilled for 4 mounting bolts for the high fender so it's a little different to the ST.
Without some form of venting the gaiters balloon on comperssion
