    front fork covers.

    I have to change fork seals in my 1979 850 GN. I also would like to cover fork tubes like they did with old Triumph Harley bikes . Any suggestions for covers? I used to own a Norton Commando and if you bought original covers they would last 20 years cheap ones wear out in a couple. Thanks joepenoso
