I FINALLY found a new boot for the steering stabilizer! (Page 1/1)

I am not sure if you guys are like me, but it really bothered me that although you can buy a new steering stabilizer it is next to impossible to find a boot that fits it. There shouldn't be much crap getting kicked up right there, but that doesn't mean that a boot won't extend the life of one. I was having a lot of difficulty finding one that wasn't too big and wouldn't rub against the existing tie rod boot or the front mount battery tray that I have. It was also only about $15!

The one I found was here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/p...05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I know it is currently unavailable, but I have found it on other websites as well. Product title: "Motorcycle Fork Cover, Rubber Fork Cover Gaiters Motorcycle Front Fork Gaiters Gators Boots Shock Damping Dust Cover Universal for Dirt Bike 205mm x 42mm(Black)"

In the future, when this product is no longer made, the rough dimensions you are looking for are - Size(High x Diam): 205 x 42mm/8.07'' x 1.65''


This is what it looks like on the stabilizer.


Obviously you'll need a hose clamp or two to secure it, but it fits. Only thing that worries me a bit is full extension, but I will test it this weekend. If it works, I will happily let the other one go if someone wants it for $5+shipping (they came in a pack of two).
