I've removed my forks for a general cleanup.   Does anyone recognize the old gaitors from a different model? the old gaitors have a thick lip at both top and bottom - however, the OEM replacements have a thick lip at bottom but a thin lip at top that fits over the bottom of the fork ear. - can someone confirm whether I've installed the right OEM #51611-300-000 gaitors?
Thanks.

Part number is the same as sown in the 69.4 printing of the parts manual. Do they look like the Yamiya part?

I'm glad i asked.  It surprised me when i removed the old boots and they were so different from the 51611-300-000 pair i ordered.  It made me doubt whether i had ordered the rights ones.  But my replacement boots look like the Yamiya set pictured and also the set link posted by KP, so that's good.  But now I wonder why my bike had an incorrect set installed in the first place. - probably not from Honda. 
The stories these bikes could tell i guess.  Maybe a few more stories will become evident as i slowly try to get the bike back on the road. 
Thanks.
