Default Upper fork tube cover-Zero luck

I've seen a few of the guys on here with Accutronix beauty tubes for the 41mm forks. Well, I have searched the corners of the Internet and called 100 companies with no leads whatsoever. It's Killin me bc bc Russell at exile is sending me a set of 16 inch highbars and I have a pile of stuff going to PC when the bars get in. It would be killer to get it all done at once instead if tearing back down to figure out how to cover the upper fork tubes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Make your own. Order some pipe that is 1.68 inches id and cut it to length and get it powder coated.

This is stainless that will slide over

I used high quality 3M vinyl and wrapped them. comes in any color from gloss / satin / flat black to metallic. it holds up very well. pretty cheap on ebay but be sure to only get the legit 3M brand. anyway just a thought if it helps.
