gaiters?

Anyone know where I can get a set of gaiters for my 78 cb750f supersport?

I put gators on my '79, which wasn't designed for them.  I just measured the OD of the upper, and lower tubes, then found some that were close, on a dirt bike supply store.  When they came in, I secured them with black zip-tie's, one on each end. Worked perfectly.  There are many suppliers of gators, on the Web.  Google is your friend, and so is a caliper to measure the OD's needed (I use mine fairly often, very useful tool to have lying around).  Cheers!

I've checked all the cb750 parts sites and they have gaitors but none listed for my bike.  I'll use the measurement method and look around at local bike stores.

Since your bike never came with gators originally, you are not going to find any listings for them. Here is the link to Cycle-X's page. Scroll down a little ways, and look for part# FR-014 http://www.cyclexchange.net/Frame%20Page.htm
