Hi,

I just recently got my Vulcan 800. It needs new fork seals and dust seals. I have those already. I want to go ahead and put some rubber fork boots/gaiters on the forks when I do the work. Its just for looks. I want to make it into a bobber eventually. Im talking about those compressable zig zag pattern black rubber boots that are seen on dirt bikes sometimes.


I can find these on ebay in general. The issue I need help with is finding a pair that will fit well on my Vulcan 800 and be reasonably cheap. Sense wherever they are found where obveously intended for a different motorcycle...

Welcome. This site caters to larger Vulcan models (1500 and up).

If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest you try the VROC forum or the Delphi Vulcan forum as they both support the little bikes.

Good luck!

If you look around at other bikes that had them you may be able to find some that fit close enough.
I know my old 72 Suzuki 550 GT had them.
