    Fork Boots

    Accumulating parts for a 200X build with a 350X front fork set up. I'm gonna need fork boots. What's the next best boot after OEM? I have a hard time dropping 60.00 for a set of fork boots. If it was an all original resto, I would go OEM, but it's not so....
    Daystar?

    Will those also fit a 200x?

    If not, is there an alternative to look for, to fit a 200x?

    Well, the OEM Honda ones are long gone (for the 200x), and rarely, if ever, pop up on feebay, so that option is out of the question anyway....

    They must be making or found some; They were DC'd a long while ago.

    BTPAGE on EBAY sells a nice set that fits, comes with clamp and looks far better than Daystar.

    Those were one of the options I was looking at, I think I'll give them a try.

    I have the boots from btpage on my TR200, the ribs stick out pretty far and rub on the tire a little.

    Btpage,

    Proline covers. I feel these look much better. Obviously if you are bringing it back to factory spec, these will not do. But if you are looking for wallet friendly protection, they are perfect. And they look a bit sportier IMO

    Not to sidetrack, but is it better to have ripped boots
    or none at all?
    I always blow them out and lightly oil if they get wet.

    Heard that 4 wheel drive shops have some boots
    and dratv has some with all measurements but not sure what they fit.

    How's THAT for useless info?

    I would put covers on at the least. I'm not a fan of damaged seals

    I bought mine from the 4WheelParts store in Austin. I think they were under $10 a set. They're shock boots. I used them on the 350X. On my 200X, I bought boots from BTPAGE. He was great to deal with. First order never showed - lost in the mail. Sent replacements no questions.

    I know this thread is older but I am looking at getting a new set for my 85 350x. I know as you guys have stated, there are cheaper options. I am looking for the closest looking to the stock boot as possible.
