Fork Gaiters have ripped!

Hi all,
Was cleaning my bike this weekend when i noticed both my Rubber fork gaiters have torn on the folds!
the bike is on a 63 plate and has done 19500 miles.
My dad has one of the original 2008 bikes and his are fine! However he does have hyper pro progressive springs fitted and I'm just on the standard springs.

I'm after a new pair of gaiters of course. Does anybody have any recommendations?
I've had a look on eBay and I'm thinking about putting some ones on in a different colour while I'm at it.

That diameter would i need?

Thanks in advance!

Try these. With the weak euro, I don't think you'll find them much cheaper anywhere else, plus you know they'll fit the bike.

If they've failed this early in the bike's life then I suggest it could perhaps be some cleaner containing rubber-unfriendly solvents that you're using to clean the bike with? Mine, like you father's, are still mint on a 40K 2008 model.

Thanks for the reply. I've bought some of these in blue. although they're only progrip fork gaiters and they can be bought much cheaper on eBay.
