KZ1000 Police Bike Fork Gaiters to Dust Covers was created by Bakes
I'm not sure if someone has already invented this wheel, but if they have, I'd really appreciate some shared information.
A guy calls me with a 1991 KZ1000-P10 Police bike. He thinks his fork gaiters are hideous. Can't say I blame him.
He's looking to replace the gaiters with OE dust covers. Based on rudimentary measurements, we're thinking that the '81+ KZ1000 (J, K, M & others) dust covers may just fit the bill.
Can anyone confirm / deny this theory? If deny, then what?
Thanks in advance.

This just in!
You CAN replace those accordion style gaiters with OE dust covers!
I just sent a set of the later ('81+) KZ1000 dust covers to a guy in Florida with a '91 Police bike. Fit like a glove!
To use his words: "They look like they were made for it!"
Kawasaki OEM #: 92093-1051

According to Dutchz's build thread he turned a groove into normal legs to use police gaiters.
1980 (mostly) KZ1000

No worries.
Sometimes ya gotta do your own research!
But I figured if anybody knew, the experts at KZR would know!

Thanks for the information Bakes. I had posted the same question for that the same P10 and got no response. I had planned on just taking a chance when I got to that point.

No worries David1050.
Now you can order with a bit more confidence in the outcome.
Occasionally I get questions that I/we just can't answer and I typically default to the "experts" over here.
KZRider.com - an indispensible resource for the KZ owner.
Keep well, fellas!
