    Utility ATC Fork Boots

    My 200M and 185S both have horrible looking busted up fork boots. Oem's are $40 a piece from Honda ($160 Total). Anybody know a good aftermarket supplier for these. Not really looking for Oem look, just soemthing there to cover it up. Just can't find any that wouldn't be bunched up or look arkward on these short forks.

    Yea, I found them the other day looking for replacements for mine. I need a few sets and don't feel like paying through the nose.

    I know it's crazy what they want, these will do fine. wonder why they won't fit the Big Red's?

    Not sure. maybe due to the size of the upper fork mount. When I get some I'll check it with my 85 Red.

    What I always use as fork boots are the rubber shock boots for truck shocks. I have a 200x and a 250r and they fit perfect on both of them. Plus the cost of them, only $3.99 each! This is what I use and they work great!

    Where do you get the rubber shock boots for trucks? That sounds like a good option.

    The boots at Beatrice Cycle look great also. Great tip!

    They don't work as good on utility models, great for the sporty trikes, the utilities have a larger bottom opening then the top.

    I bought a pair of the Beatrice ones for my 200s. I got them a few months ago, and they're still in the bag. Maybe you guys talking about them is the motivation I need to get out there and install them. I've been loving on my 200s quite a bit lately. They're right, they do seem like really good rubber, and you sure can't beat the price!

Welcome to America, where the biggest is best and even fat people who are too lazy to shift can climb a mountain.

    Any offroad center will carry the truck shock boots. There's one right up the road from me here. You can always get a number out of an offroad magazine to the parts places and like I said, well worth the price compared to purchasing a 'fork boot.' They come in a lot of different colors. The smaller opening at the top fits snug around the fork tube and the larger opening at the bottom will slip right over where the dust seal and wiper are located. I've used them for years and you can't beat the price!
