Are you tiered of your old fork boots? Or maby you cant find ones that match your colors on your trike.

Well acouple weeks i went to a 4x4 shop to buy some tires for my truck they ended up messing up the taxes so i had a 3$ credit. My sales men ended up giving me the $5.99 "shock covers" for my $3 credit. When i got home i realized they will fit on my X PERFECTLY. And they are alot more heavy duty than regular 3 wheeler ones. So if you need some fork boots go to ** 4x4 shop and pick up some Pro Comp fork boots, and they come in MANY colors.

Just a little tip for yall

Dammit!

Got pics?

I usually just buy Daystars. I get them for about 16 bucks locally. They have to be stretched a bit if you put them on a 85-86 R though.

Most of the ones on ebay are boots from 4x4 shops. They only cost 5.95 a pair and are available at 4x4 parts and wholesalers? The eBay guys are making a killing...

Here's some pics. I belive I have truck boots on my 350, around the top they have like a inner lip where it looks like it slip over the top of a shock on a truck. I think they make clear boots, I want to get some of them. On a 350x the bottom of the boot needs a zip tie to hold it on the bottom of the fork, but the tops fit fairly tight not to need any tie or clamp, once in a while it slides down a inch or so.
