Title: Dirt Skirt Installation.
Post by: Macmania on May 26, 2010, 12:08 PM

Can someone please clarify how a dirt skirt should be fitted. I have seen two different articles that both contradict each other  :-\ Thanks  :)

So, the skirt goes onto the forks first with the writing facing up. Then the race is tapped down onto the forks as normal, then the bearing fits into the race......also as normal ?

Thanks guys  :daumenhoch: Now fitted as shown below. I recently saw a pic of a skirt fitted above the race which at the time I though can't be right - that's where the confusion started  ::)
