  • New Rubber Boots for XJ shocks?

    Anybody found something that will fit to replace the protective boots on the XJ rear shocks? Yamaha doesn't show these as a replaceable part...

    I've been eyeing some repo british bike fork gaiters, but figured I'd ask before leaping. Both of mine are trashed, but the shocks are good other than that.
    Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

    I always thought that the bellows for 4x4 shocks might work Steve. Check at your local custom 4x4 shop. Also, check on the belows for dirt bike forks.
