Gaiter Boots on a KZ750 and KZ650 *pics* was created by DanMadBoy
Most of my bikes (i have quite a few and may be buying an H# this weekend in Connecticut) have gaiters. Aside from the sporty look, they protect the forks.

Check it out.

Fugly is a strong word, in this case, better used to describe someone's behavior! :P

I'm with Steve on this one.  I had them on a KLR650 and found them to need constant cleaning.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

I get raves wherever I go.  They look great and require minimal cleaning. I love them and have them on most of my bikes. My 900F:

They were on my CL 350 and I hated them. When I took them off the fork tubes were rusty as hell.

That was in Santa Monica close to the ocean.

I grew up in Malibu until the fire took out my grandparent's home Shermer's Orchids across from Paradise Cove in 67.
 
This is how I remember POP in the 70's

 
 
Glad I didn't have to watch it fall apart after that.

I'm sure they have they're benefits, it's the look of the fork tube I like. To me it's cleaner looking. And I've had my share of leaking seals .
