Fork Tube Protection (SealSavers)

[36654]

but if I remember right the early K75 bikes had problems with the fork seals.
The gaiters did protect the fork tubes from all the wet grit.

That's what I remember and why I always ran with gaiters.  As I recall, a Rancho brand 4x4 shock cover was a perfect fit, but you had to drop the fork tubes from the triple clamp.  In addition, they were available in different colors.
