Where can I get the rubber dust boots that protect the seals on the
front shock absorbers? For a '76 CJ360T, but I expect it's the same for
many an old Honda. The shiny steel cylinder of the shock is about
32.5mm in diameter. It's easy to find the seals on ebay, but I haven't
seen the boots anywhere.

Lots of bikes use the same units. Shop around different dealers.

You're looking for "Fork Gaiters" (might help you in your net search)
They're pretty universal.
If it's just the covers that protect your seals, then Honda probably
still has 'em.

Okay, fork gaiters seem to be accordion-like rubber covers that have
both ends clamped in place. I'm thinking of the rubber boots that came
stock on the motorcycle and slide over the shiny steel part of the
shock. I guess I'd be happy with either one as long as they fit.
Maybe I could fix my old ones, as they are merely split open and look
like they could be glued somehow if I knew what glue to use.

I think that you're talking about your fork seal dust covers. Don't
re-use them, buy new ones. They should be available pretty much
everywhere (if it's the dust-covers that you're talking about).
