| The boots work fine, I was a little concerned they were too tight but now seem ok. The Swing handles a lot better now too. New oil, new seals and new boots. Cool! |

| Hi Kurt, Was there a original part number on the pair of fork boots? By the way, that really looks like you did a nice job of installing them. |

| No Dennis. I gave my local accesory shop the size I wanted. The only ones he could get actually were a bit too narrow. When I mounted them I liberally sprayed silicon lubricant carefully over the inner tube. This lets the rubber slip. I found a US site that had the correct diameters, but now I can,t find it again. Jon, dont forgret you have 100 mm (4") of travel. So the rest of the free length needs to compress down into the head of the inner tube. I will eventually get the next size up but these look interesting too.
