Gouldy · DTR Respected Member

how do the acerbis ones go on? are they just velcro type lol?

dtrcruzer · DTR Senior Member

na you have to take the forks off to do it but i cut them in half and velcroed then on but they dont look half as good as they would if i took the forks off if you get some i recomend you take the forks off

i just brought a dtx front end and wheels should arrive this week il update with pic when fitting

Jonpearson17 · DTR Respected Member

Couldnt you just take the wheel off and slide the sock onto the Fork?

dtrcruzer · DTR Senior Member

i didnt even think of that lol yea you could would be alot easyer than removing forks

Mugen Seiki · Guru

My thoughts are that if you try fitting it that way you run the risk of strecthing it out on the brake bracket . But then again I dont know personally how strecthy those things are .

Jonpearson17 · DTR Respected Member

If thats the Case, Use Zip ties that are the same colour as the sock..

PatMan · Guru

Your right Mugen on my acerbis socks theres no way you could take them from the bottom up, they would stretch big time, and probably rip, I did think of this idea at the start with mine, but the risk was too high, and I thought theres no way thats gonna happen, so of course you have to take the top off and slide them down, I also got the zip ties on too.....comes out something like this....Pic Below
