I just bought some shock covers from a company called Dirt skins. I’ve been looking for a unique set of covers for some time. I wanted to find covers that had a skull on them. I ended up going to dirtskins.com and found a wide variety of different logos and some familiar logos. I found skulls, flames, martini glasses to naked ladies you see on semi’s and some other killer looking logos. When I first got them and open the package up I notice there were a different material. Not like the other shock covers I’ve had in the past, but more like a water suit material. I found out they were made out of neoprene. It made them really easy to put on because they stretched easily around the shock. With this material they should hold up to the mud and grind that I get from riding in the woods. I think the quality is by far the best shock covers I have bought. When I find a good product, I like to share with you guys so you can get them to. Check them out! You won’t be disappointed. I also got a free T-shirt with my purchase. They were $39.99 for a set of 3

Thanks for the review Rico I know now for sure those are what I'm getting

thanks for the review, those look good and they sound good from the review, they'll be getting my business as well

Dam Rico, has that thing even seen dirt? You got that thing what 3 months ago. If you need someone to break it in, I guess I could find the time if you buy the air fair. lol


The skins look good. I read on another post that the rear covers make the shock heat up quickly and then take longer to cool down. Any experience with that.

I recently installed the dirt skinz covers as well. They look great IMO and they seem to work well. No shifting or twisting after a full weekend of riding. They are very tight on there, but the velcro held strong with no signs of trying to come apart. They were kinda dirty after the weekend, but a minimal amount of effort had them clean as new. Great product.

Thanks for the review.

Glad everyone likes them

Dan, as far as heating up the rear shock. If your racing and the shock is taking a pounding then yes you should not have a cover on the rear shock for heating purpose. But, most of us ride for fun and will not pound on the shock for two or three hours at a time. Its mostly ride fast but not flat out without a break. So for the normal rider that doesn't race leave it on because it looks damn cool

Rico

yup. you the man rico, covers looks sick, good review.

thankx for the review, I just ordered a set for my atv.
(I also ordered the A-arm covers and the grab bar cover)

Funny this come's up again. I just ordered mine about an hour ago!

just got them on today, you where right about everything, the simple install, the rubber/strechy material, the velcro feels very strong.

I just went with the standard dirtskins

another you can just see the grab bar skin also

Mine came in on Tuesday, got the same black plain dirt skins and a free t-shirt!!!

I took my shocks off. Took em apart and cleaned everything up real good before installing the covers. It's incredible how much gunk and grim gets in the shocks. But after a good cleaning they seem to be working top notch, better than before the cleaning for sure! Now I'm hoping that the covers will help keep them that way!

On another note, I think that with the GT Thunder conversion you need to take them apart and clean things up once and a while. The spring slider really gets gummy and seem to want to stick. They work just like they did after Laz did he did his magic! Clean is Good!

Its good to hear that all of you like these, I am looking into getting some shock covers for mine and i will be checking into these in more detail now that I hear all of you guys have liked yours.

I have a set they are awsome the best shock covers and i love them i like what they got for the dirt bike shock covers they are cool i put a set on a stunted out street bike and they work great for all that dirt that gets in the seals and wrecks them Great review but lol i didnt ge a tee shirt Lucky guys have a great night

Kinda hijacking your thread here but it is on the same topic...

WHO IS INTERESTED IN THE SHOCK COVERS MADE OF THE SAME MATERIAL BUT PLAIN COLORS, NO LOGOS?

I really like the neoprene material however I hate logos. I finally found a guy who sells them and was willing to do a bulk order. They ended up being cheaper than dirt skins. PM me if you are interested and I will try to figure out pricing. Plus get a set for myself first to check the quality.

hmmmmmmmmm, sounds good

will the bulk buy all need to be the same color ?
I could use a few sets for the family quads (Im not crazy about logo's either but the quality of dirtskins are great)

I will shoot the guy and email and see what he has to say. And like I said I want to get a single set first and make sure the quality if up to par.
