Default Fork Seal Covers

Hi Im going to be running touring lowers on a custom bike. It wont have cowbells. The standard 41mm fork seal covers dont fit as they are too small. Is anyone aware of some that will fit? The pic below is the standard FXST version, Id be interested in anything that works, not just that style.
Thanks.

Assuming the reason the 41mm dust seal don't fit, is because they are probably 49mm if they are off a newer touring bike. Just order the dust seals for late model Dyna.

Maybe tell us what year fork lowers you are using?

When I recently rebuilt the forks on my `89 Softail (41MM forks), the OEM rebuild kit came with dust covers like in your picture.

The bike did not use these covers from the factory (that part is covered by the cowbells), but the new parts fit so I used them.

Part number 49377-09A. This is the same kit called out in the parts manual for the touring forks of that era.

@panhead_pete Are you still here, or are we wasting our time?
