I have over 30motorcyles, only a few have had fork boots.This is my first bike. I'm confused. What does one need to protect the forks from?
That's a good-looking NTV!
Yes we got the A9641010 and yes mine is the naked one so they should be ok in length. My husband agrees with you they should help his goldwing came with protectors we clean our bikes after every ride and one thing he has showed and told me was to be sure to clean the forks real good right there so that we don't ruin the seals so I'm really glad you found these that would work for us I abosutly love this motorcycle it's so easy to ride the only thing we don't like is the chain and that's just because all of our other motorcycles have been shaft drive so we just have to do a little more than were use to and trying to clean wheel gets your arm pretty dirty LOLYou are welcome, remember you will need longer bolts. Did you get the taller version if you have the naked bike? I know some do not feel they do anything but if you ride in a rural area like I do they cant hurt. Mine did the job and had bugs on them yesterday. They MAY not help but they definitely DON'T hurt. I clean my bike often so it may not have been necessary but what sparked my purchase was a thread on the NC700 forum where a nick caused a seal to go bad. I do my own work as dealers locally have lost my trust and changing fork seals unnecessarily is not on my priority list. The guards along with the fairing help, most of the normal travel is covered.
Do you know of any fork protector's that could function as a mount point for additional forward facing lights? This may have to be a DIY project but i'd like to avoid as much DIY as I can, I had a teacher who was often quoted as saying "Why re-invent the wheel if a useable one already exists?".You are welcome, remember you will need longer bolts.

Link says domain is no longer active, never mind I found it by part #.
A pair of those in the same style in metal would be perfect or near perfect as a combination lower fork protector and bracket to mount some lights on, they would need to be thicker metal of course.Here are mine. Triumph brand. Wallacem in Ga
