Hello! Great video. I unfortunately had an accident and am changing the front forks. Maybe you know? Will the forks from the 2022 model fit the 2018? (CMX500). Thank you

A better adhesive might be: 3M Black Super Weatherstrip and gasket adhesive. It works much like contact cement.

It's really not that big a deal to slide out the forks and put these on. Don't know how long that seam will hold up. I wouldn't do it that way myself. But if you like it on your bike that's ok.

The motorcycling world is full of making it work with what you have. Tons of people hold their bikes together with zip ties and hope. A simple little fork boot is not the end of the world like some people make it seem. Thanks for the video!

There are split rubber car CV joint boots that are designed to be installed like this, so the idea is not bad per-se. For a generic fork boot, you'd need to start with a larger diameter or pre-glue a rubber extension "lip" along the cut, internally or externally.

Almost impossible to misalign your forks if you mount your front fender while fork bolts are semi loose but on. The fender holds the forks together as a vice in a way that'll keep them aligned 🫡💯
