Their web site acted odd after I paid them. Kinda froze then booted me out, forgot all about it, then they just showed up on the door step. Shipping charges were fair, just under 9 bucks. Nice item.
Will post a picture when I get rid of the red seat & install the new Corbin I ordered too. _________________ 1993 K1100RS that I'd rather be riding FAST!

I sent an email to Dan at Traxxion Dynamics to check on stock and shipping. I also sent my shipping info / requirements.
I followed it up with a phone call to place the order with my credit card.
I received the order six days later, which I think is pretty good to Western Canada. The freight was a bit high ($17.00) because they used priority mail, but it's my fault for not telling him I wasn't in that much of a rush.
I'll slap them on tomorrow.

FYI: Priority Mail is all the USPS does internationally now. They dropped parcel post last year because they weren't making any money on it. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

It figures.
It still beats having it couriered to Canada. When that happens, we get whacked with a high brokereage fee - usually at least $35 - when it crosses the border.
If it comes in via post, no fees.
Thanks for the info. |

|

I finally got around to installing the Traxxion Dynamics fork protectors today. I rode less than half a block and stopped to investigate the new noise. They bind against the bottom-front of the fairing. Has anyone else tried these on an LT?
I can't see that cutting them back will help.

| No pictures. I took them off. I suppose I could just place them back on to show. They hit the unpainted cowling above the fork tubes. |

Anyone have any success putting these guards on an LT?
Want to confirm before I take off my boots. _________________ Bane of your existence since July 2006

The "underpanel" on LTs is too close to the forks. I'm considering trimming or removing the underpanel. It's only a $6 part. 46632309265
Though there still might be an issue at full lock if the forks compress.
If I were you I'd stick with the boots since they're already on and provide more protection. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

I have the guards on my 95 LT; after I put them on I taped the guards tight to the fork and heated them with a heat gun- this keeps them close enough to the fork that they do not hit the underpanel. They might still contact the lower triple tree under a severe fork compression, but I have not had that problem. I have had them installed for 4500 miles with no problems.

I put these on just in time. Lots of bugs in the U.P., so many that I had to stop and clean my visor.

I finally pulled the trigger on these. Love the protection of the gaiters but hate the look. My Honda 110 CT Trail has THAT look! To make them fit the LT I will either use the heat gun method or trim where necessary.
I think that is the only site I have ever ordered from that didn't show shipping charges or give you an option for shipping.  _________________ Scott Hespelt, '94 K11LT
