if you run fork caps, cups, rubbers, whatever you call em, raid your wife, girlfriend, partners' vanity thing or look in the supermarket for these scrunchie hair bands, (terry towelling). Load em  up with your favourite fluid and slip them on under your rubbers. Works for me. :-\

They seem to hold up alright Wally, here's a pic of some on my old tt 600 that have done about two years work and five years in the shed. I loaded these up with grease before installing which was a bit thick but done the job. In hindsight i think rubber grease would be the go. Sorry about the crap picture I might have to read Ji Gantors photo tutorial......Regards Dave.
