    Looking for fork boots (sleeves) gs850g

    I'm looking for retro looking ruber sleeves that cover the fork. Anyone knows of a good source or match for a 1982 gs850g?

    Thanks

    When doing a lot of dusty road trips on the 1100G I fitted a pair of black rubber fork tube covers from the dirtbike section at a local shop, not genuine just after market brand. Had to drop the tubes out of the forks to fit them so put new seals in at the same time while it was apart.

      Google around for the term "fork gaiters" and you might find more suggestions.

        You can split dirtbike gaiters then use zip ties at both ends (black) if you don't want to remove the fork tubes.

        I have a set on another bike that are neoprene and they have velcro to seal them, so they can be installed and removed easily.
