RD Fork Gaiters

[Diablo007]

Looking for gaiters for the RD350.  The Emgo ones I purchased didn't last long at all.  I purchased these for the DT125 and they are holding up much better, 2 years and still looking good:

Found the following listing while trying to find gaiters for the RD:

Both are the same item if you look at the specs.  My concern is how much will the stretching around the circumference affect the life of the gaiter?  Does anyone have any experience with this?

Does anyone know of any gaiters that have the same circumferences of the RD fork tubes and lowers?

Did some math; the circumference around the fork tube would increase by ~12.6mm.  Seems like a lot of stretching...

that is a lot.

look at t500 ones

Yep. Apparently the xs650 ones and t500 will fit. Crusinimage has them as well as fleabay for about 30$

@quocle603
Thanks for the info.  I was able to find some on ebay after playing with the search strings; some too cheap for me to trust, the others I need to check on the proper length as some seemed short and others long.

Not a problem.
