Rubber boots on shocks

[benl1981]

Seems to be a different type front and rear.

I need to get them ASAP. Sydney kid was saying he got them from a dirt bike shop. I'm assuming you would have to get the top section the same size (diameter) to fit into the round section holding it in. I was trying to dislofge the boot while the spring and shock was still connected but couldn't.. Do you just prise it out with a screwdriver.?

Many thanks

Pics of front and rear..

Got them in tonight. Definately wothwhile. Used to hop around in the back, wasn't quite sure if I was getting wheelspin or just hopping. Now it's great. Although it sounded like I hit a bump stop turning right a bit quick. I kept the old jounce bumperthat was part of the boot and put the new boot on from there so shouldnt be the problem. Have to see tommorrow.

BTW I used stretch type steering rack boots. Did quite well. THey were 15 each. Pedders had red ones (for $20) that looked ok but the rack boots probably did better for this application..
