I got the brace long after I had installed the fork boots. The boots slipped over the fork seals & stayed put but with the fork brace they rested on top of the brace. Occasionally one side would stick to the fork & rise up so I cut off the bottom/verticle part of the boot & glued the flat part of the boot to the brace. Sort of a Jethro Bodine style solution but it worked. There are probably better methods but that's all I could come up with at the time.
