    They are about 6 inches long. Simply take a piece of fabric (dark colored) and wrap em around the fork tubes. You will get the idea. Or wrap 6 inches of tape around your forks and look at them, that will give you the look. The leather is flexible so it rides up and down the tubes and will crush if need be. It also keeps bugs from splattering themselves to death on your fork tubes.
    OEM there is no need to rub it in. Thanks to BA80 for the video he posted (Cruisers) to make me think of why I am doing this when it is so frickin cold.
