How about going down to your local motorcycle shop and looking at the boots that dirt bikes use to protect forks? Many different sizes and colors.

We used to call them Gators. They kept the stones from nicking and pitting the tubes... and debris from damaging the wipers or seals but on road bikes it was thought they held in the moisture which led to rusting. I always thought they looked good on some bikes. Old school but thats good too. Dirt bike ones do come in some funky colors. You will most likely have to trim them down some but should work.

A seller on eBay has a few different sets listed right now:

Fork Gaitors!!YAMAHA,Kaw,Suzuki,Honda,XS,KZ,GS,CB,etc.

Fork Gaitors!!YAMAHA,Kaw,Suzuki,Honda,XS,KZ,GS,CB,etc.

Both auctions are from the same seller and appear to be the same exact set of gaitors/listings, yet there's a $5 diff between the two B.I.N. prices.:huh:

If these are what you're looking for, you could always ask the seller what the differences (if any) between the two listings are.
Covina, So Calif!
78 KZ650-B2 = SOLD
84 ZN700 LTD = SOLD
84 ZX750 GPz = SOLD
89 GSX1100F Katana = SLEEPING :-/
20 VN1700 Vulcan Vaquero (the Blue Cowboy)
Looking for my next project KZ
