I have inverted forks. There is no way to mount the hard plastic covers other than being creative with zip ties and making one yourself. ( I am working on that very thing) Some of the older Lifan's had mounting places at the bottom of the forks but mine are bare. I think the sealsavers might keep more of the gunk out as well. A dirty seal is an unhappy seal... :wink: Sometimes ya just have to be creative....
