I am assuming you are referring to the full length boots, (also called gators). I believe the bottom will fit the fork, but the GT500 has no holder ring for the top of boots. The top of the boots need to be sealed or moisture will get trapped inside boots and corrode the fork surface causing fork seals to leak.
I use GT750 dust seals on my GT500.

Yes those full length ones as I have T500 with a GT500 front end on it installed by a previous owner I would like to get something like them to replicate the original look.
