Default Love these !
I really like the look of these fork boots. Id like to find a set that are covers instead of the actual boot. I don't want to take my forks apart to install them. Anyone know if they are available as covers ? I've done some searching and all I can find is the Arlen Ness version which are the actual boots.


If you click on the pic, you'll see I have circled what I'm referring to.

Those are Ness Cow Bells and to install them you will have to drop the forks, no way around it....

That's what I was afraid of. I wonder if there are any covers that are similar ?

What are those? Something like fake coil springs? (I can't tell from the picture)

As dfwhockey17 noted, they are the Ness cow bells. There are no similar covers that I am aware of.

What bike do you have? If it's a Heritage they won't fit without modification to the cow bell or changing/redirecting the front turn signals. The round (lollipop) front turn signals will contact that cowbell. It will work with a Deluxe as is because it has different front turn signals.

Pulling the forks is a pretty simple one-man job if you have a way to get the bike off of the ground.

Thanks BR125. I do have a jack. The bike is a 2005 deluxe. I think these would be an amazing addition to it.
