Default Fork seals

I got a 79 shovel chop, was an fxs according to the vin but I got a wide glide 8 over front end. I need to get fork seals and the rebuild kit so I can put on my shaved lowers. What bloody kit do I need? I guess a fxs wasn't a 41mm tubes? I usually order stuff from Canada's motorcycle. Com and cause I have my bike set as a fxs it screws with me telling me what fits. Any help would be rad. Part numbers for a complete rebuild kit would super rad.

Thanks

Default Also!!!!!

Been gone for a while, my bikes changes a lot but she's still an old chopper. I decided to loose my front brakes cause I hadn't used them in two years and I like the clean front end look. So I bought some shaved lowers and a second 21" rim with rubber that's not made for discs. I plan on switching it over to clean sexy legs and keep my original set in case I want to go back to dual disc.

I never thought ordering fork seals would be so much trouble.

Any tips or links on removing the lowers? I've googled and read a lot on how to.

This and those look like aftermarket lower legs unless somebody did some serious clean up on them. I've got the same front in hanging in the attic.
