Zongshen 200GY-2: Lower Fork Protectors
My Zongshen 200GY-2 motorcycle arrived equipped with lower fork guards. However, I never liked their clunky design, so I have never installed them.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My very practical, good friend Andy has suggested that I can attach the lower fork guards quite securely with hose clamps. However, for esthetic purposes, I am inclined to drill and tap several holes for some 6mm, button head screws. ![]() Spud ![]() |

Before I offer a colour preference, may we see a Photoshop version of both in a side view of the bike?
BTW, I like socket head cap screws. ![]()

Ask, and ye shall receive, WG.
![]() First, I need to supply some preliminary information. KTM offers lower fork protectors in two styles. The newer style is a full cover fork guard, which is shown in the first photograph. ![]() The second style is the older, half cover fork guard. I ordered the older, half cover style from the local KTM dealer; however, the parts supplier sent the full cover style by mistake. :roll: Therefore, I decided to experiment with the full cover fork guards, just to see how they looked, and fit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Next, a side view of the black fork guards. ![]() Here is a front view of the KTM Orange fork protectors. ![]() Here is a front view of the black fork protectors. ![]() I didn’t get good results trying to photoshop the silver protectors. In any event, I would prefer either black, or KTM Orange. ![]() Spud ![]()

I vote for black. But for the sake of saving time and effort, orange looks good, too. 8)
