Took a look at them and I think they are going to be way too long. They already look too long, and that's before the forks have been lowered. Just wondering if you found the same problem.

My forks are in pieces, so all I've done is slide one over a fork tube to see how snugly the folds fit in case I want to shorten the boots. There's some play (which you want, now that I think of it, so they'll slide up and down as the forks move) but I think I'll be able to use the zip ties to hold them up in some way. We'll see. I expected them to be long because they were made for dirt bikes.

You've put a lot of good work in your ride and I'm sure the results will be rewarding!
