RE: Fork boots
they would look great on that bike.....check out dirt bike dealers...the old sporty's had them too,,,,you'll have to slip the tubes off the trees and make sure u get it back inlinement,,,but thats just a kick start direction,,,you never know what hidden suprises are in store,,,but thats the fun of custimizing.....you'll stick out from the rest....

RE: Fork boots
Do you think I could find them big enough at a dirt bike dealer though? I think that'll be a problem, as the ones on dirt bikes and sportys are so small. I know Triumph has made use of them too...but still, they're small. I need to find something that has some big ones on it.

Well, I imagine the boot would go where the bottom part of the tins are, correct? Meaning..I would remove the two pieces (one on each sidee) of the tins that cover the top of the fork lowers...right?

those tins are your stock dust covers,,,it would make it easer if they were outta the way,,,,figure diameter and length,,,if the new Triumph ones fit great,,if not google "Cylinder Rod Boots" And remember "once u go custom u never come back"

RE: Fork boots
I doubt the Triumph's will fit, as they look quite a bit smaller..but those ones from eBay that I posted a few seconds before your last post may work, I think.

RE: Fork boots
I found something that will probably be what I end up having to go with to get it done. http://www.marvalex.com/Engineering.php there's the link for anyone who's interested. They take your dimensions and can custom make the boots for you.
