Fork Dust Covers

Does somebody make rubber fork dust covers that are split and can be wrapped around and attached? They used to make rubber CV boots like that you could wrap around and attach so you didn't have to pull the axles out. It would be cool if there were dust covers like that so you didn't have to take the forks apart to put now rubbers on them.

I'm not sure this would work, but the dirt bike riders use(I think) a tube of fabric/neoprene held together with velcro wrapped around the forks.

Nice idea but I am not aware of anyone doing so for older street bikes:(

Definitely sounds like it would be a hot selling product: all the old bikes are the ones with the cracking rubber seals on top of the fork bodies. It would turn a PITA repair into a five minute job..... and I will always pay extra $$$ for that exchange.
