    In the past I have used cut down plastic bottles like dish washing liquid bottle held in place with a hose clamp or cable tie, the hose clamp lasts longer than the cable tie. I also fitted a short piece to the front section of the lower part of the shock which helps with the stones, but you must leave the rear uncovered for cooling.
    Its amazing how much gets sand blasted each event.

    That sounds like a good idea Hendo. Think I'll try that!

    Tar's for getting there. Dirt's for racing!
