I agree Moto, the gaiters look cool and the added protection to the forks and seals is important. My stock ears are gone and the gaiters were too.. PO but I don't like the stock ears, I'm not going for showroom looks. I put some gaiters on and just jury rigged em at the top, I might want a pair of those beauties. Wonder why the new bikes don't use gaiters..... seals will last a long time with no grit getting at them.
Likely no real "added protection" with gaiters over dust seals. Ever seen gaiters come apart? They dry out and rip at the folds, letting in stuff to the unprotected seal.
Modern naked look dust seals are virtually fool proof. Fork seal leaking on modern bikes not a problem.
No fault to you for liking the way they look, but they are old school look. But most buyers of new bikes want a new bike look. Plus, in my mind, the gaiters are inferior protection long term.
Bringing it back to the OP, 754s dummy holders solve a problem and look good to boot, though they don't show. I like knowing I have cool parts even when they don't show. And you could pull the gaiter off, show off the part and put the gaiter back on.
