So I found the Bonneville 41mm Fork Gaitors on eBay $39. Cut them, zip tied them on. If you weren't looking for them you'd never know how they were put on. The cut seam is located toward the back inside (at 5 & 7 o'clock). You have to look real close. I like them any way...

Looks righteous ! Any chance of some closeup shots ? I'm wondering if it's possible to glue the cuts back together somehow, maybe with the help of a strip of rubber..

I did try gluing. It didn't work well. The rubber edges are a zig-zag due to the mold of the gaiter. With the 41 MM size a rubber strip is not needed, it would make them to large. I suppose there may be a way to seal or glue them tight after getting them on. I've just not found the answer yet.

Here's the closest close up's I have:
