"gaiters" like on an old triumph.

they make "slide over" that use clamps top and bottom to hold in place, but the better approach is to pull your forks from the triple tree, slide them on, then put the forks back in place.
( you'd have to pull the forks to get the metal "cowbells" off anyway)

just google them, measure the diameter of the fork tubes
