KRIEGA FORKS SEAL COVERS
One of the best investments we made for our trip this past summer was buying fork seal protectors. For $25 these little things can save you a lot of inconvenience. Although we have no proof that using fork seal covers worked, I guess you can say since we never had any issues perhaps they did.…
