K1 Fork Dust Cap Recommendations

[ScottG]

I'm looking to replace the stock accordion style fork boots on my 1971 CB750 K1 and was looking for suggestions on what vendor sells the correct size. I bought some dust caps designed for 77-78 CB750 from 4 into 1, but while the diameters are correct and they do fit, they are a bit too short. They are 1 1/8" long and don't quite fill in the recessed gap on the fork housing completely. I have seen pictures of other early CB750s where this dust cap did fit correctly.

Thanks for any help!

Do you mean these? What do you mean by "dust cap"? Do you have any photos? I do see some Genuine NOS Honda fork gaiters on Ebay.

No, I'm not looking for the standard boots. Here is a pic of the smaller boot that i bought, but is a bit too small as you can see. It doesn't fill in the recessed grove completely.

So you are looking to replace the accordion fork boots? Or are you eliminating them? I can't follow what you are trying to do here.
