So I know it's been a while but I'm just about ready to swap out my forks with a much nicer set that's been rebuilt and has Progressive springs! I have two questions, should I run the stock boots or does it really matter? I know I should run them to keep the seals and tubes clean but I wasn't sure if it was really that big of a deal.. And the other question is, I kinda like having stickers on my forks and always have. I was wondering if anyone out here might have some they could sell me? Maybe Showa or Honda?
Please let me know! :)

Thanks everyone.

My opinion is that forks boots are cheap and new forks are not. It's not the seals I worry about, It the little dings in the fork tubes from small rocks kicked up from following someone. If it's pure duner I wouldn't worry about it.

I would run the fork boots. When I see bikes that do not have them. They do not look complete to me. They also give you protection from the elements. Also they are pretty cheap so there is no real reason not to run them. Its one of those better to have them then not need them. Then to not have them then need them.

Buy them until they are out of stock.

Then contact me for 200X 250R and 350X boots but they'll be expensive.......

Fork boots are definitely a good idea, if you don't want to run boots at least use fork wipers like these-

If you look around this website-

I am pretty sure you will find some stickers that will work. (You may have to scan through 1500 stickers to find the perfect ones)
