I was just out in the garage admiring my new toy .. and noticed the cheesy fork protector to save the black fork from getting scratched from the front brake line. Doesn't look like that is gonna last long. There must be a better way.

I believe it is just part of the recall that was done on the front brake line. I think someone around here made a pretty elegant replacement with part of a clear soda bottle.

Soda?, It's lemonade actuallyThere's also a protector for the oil cooler that I made as well - I live at the end of a very long dirt road.
