He's referring to the tube between the trees. Yours cover below the lower triple tree.

That would make them black, but the PVC would make the front end look "bulkier" as well, which is the second effect I am going for.

As mentioned already, fork boots are for the lower area, these will sit between the trees. And yes, this is just for looks, plus everybody knows every sq inch of black you add to your bike gives it about 2 extra hp

Thanks for the link. I'd rather make them honestly, also I measured the length between my trees and I only have about 5-1/4". Those would be a little too big.
