Thinking of getting some fork gaiters for my 81 GS400L. Found some at Old Bike Barn, but they're 39mm and 41mm. Does anyone know which are the correct sized gaiters for my bike?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

On my GS850 I used the shock boots/gaiters from my Pro Comp Explorer off road shocks. They fit fine and had enough length for full extension on the fork tubes. But, they're red, if that matters at all.
Yes, autoparts are a good bet. Shock boots for off-road pick-up trucks etc I suppose. I got these there but lost the box(I usually save the box stuff comes in) so I can't give you the brand name. I found them a bit too long and eventually cut them off a few turns at the bottom,but the fit is very good. These will fit many Japanese bikes and who knows what else? a pretty standard size per our forks...You need to cut a tiny air hole in them or they will collapse with suction.
I've seen some ebay ones that were very cheap but they were wrong about the size they listed and despite saying they were good for triumphs and what-all, they really will only fit a small trailbike.
