[laverda]

I got grom this German shop and thought I should remove the gearknop
but then it arrived I could see it wasn't nessesary to do it.
Their partnumber is 77100. Not cheap but a good quality.

I have just fitted this gearshiftgaiter... ...and is made in soft leather amd I think its looks just fine with the red sewing and black leather.

Looking very nice indeed

Had a new one fitted but main dealer foc a month ago, this one then split and had another fitted last week.

Both look horrible compared to the Original kit and one of the panels on the RHS is reinforced and this doesn't help the look.

May go the Tbay route in the end!

I fitted mine (leather one off ebay) another way.

The original gaiter can be removed without taking the gear know off. Just split the gaiter on two opposite sides along the sewn seam using a sharp razor blade. Split about and inch.

This will make the narrow hole large enough to slip around the gear kno when you are pulling it free.

If you split the leather gaiter the same way, it can easily slip over the gear knob.

Once on, all you have to do is sew the seams back up and cable tie the end.

Ya mines has a 30cm crack across the front. There is a slight fold created when the gear shift is forward position that has caused it. Poor materials IMO.

It's not ripped yet but won't take much to tear...
I may just do what farnboyer did

I had a 25mm 'split' on a seam, so I reversed the gaiter, and glued a piece of fabric over the seam (as a patch). I used silicone to stick the item...........nearly perfect!!

I don't want to change the interior look so a bit or reinforcement to stop it tearing should do the trick.. Now i hope it's just a few clicks to get the gaiter reversed.. Cheers helpful thread
