Default front shock covers available?

I think they are called gaitors...

I like the ones on the nightster, and would like to throw them on the new dyna i am thinking about getting.

Do you know if anyone sells them? I id not see them in the HD parts catalog.

The easiest ones to install are, believe it or not, fork gaiter from a 1968-70 Triumph or BSA the slide right down over your forks, fit perfectly between the sliders and the triple clamp so they dont need to be cut down or clamped on.You can find them at several old brit bike parts dealers on Ebay just make sure they say they fit 1970 models.Also many list the dimensions 2" by 6 1/2" I think.

You can try these - they're what I used - you do need to cut 'em down but that can be a good thing if you've changed your fork spring lengths to lower the bike. Series 408 DayStar boots in 49 mm (last item in table):

Available on-line (do a Google search) or check your local trail bike shops.
