Do you mean fork boots? Rubber, accordian looking things?

Daystar or Pro Grip both have fork boots. Sets show up on Ebay as well. Depending upon the size you need, the 4x4 market uses fork boots to cover shocks and you might find a set in a 4x4 accessory catalog. Price is usually less as well.

I had a set from Acerbis on my '78 YZ250 that had the OEM look and feel but they haven't been listed in their catalog in several years.

No not the boots but just the shorter dust guards. I checked on E Bay but not much two choose from.

Harley Davidson Soft Tail dust wipers work perfectly on 43mm forks. They are cheap too. I'll dig up the part number for you.

The HD part # is 45420-80. They retail for $6.50 each. Avoid Texas Harley on 121 as they jack their prices 20% over retail.

Thanks Cam I was looking at those on E Bay. I was going to ask you earlier today but forgot all about it.

I don't think Vintage Iron makes them for 43mm forks. Plus $ 40.00 a pair is steep.
I'm going to try the HD parts first. But thank you for the info also.
