I Like Fork Boots was created by KZQ
I'm wantin a set of fork boots for my trike project. It's based on a 79 KZ750 B4 which never had fork boots. I checked and it appears that the fork boots on my 82 1100 Spectre would fit fine. I haven't tried the dealer yet but I can't find them on line. I already purchased a set of DaySpring boots that have the correct top and bottom diameters but fit like Zoot Suit, No Gooda!
Any body have any better ideas?

Rancho shock boots work fine for me. Plus they are readily available and inexpensive. They also come in colors other than black if that's your thing.

Here is a pair of them on my 78 KZ400 (33mm forks)

Thanks Dan,
In the end I ordered the OEM boots at $57.00 each from Ma Kaw. OUCH!

It would be a good idea to use bearing grease on forks under boots.
