Fork Boots Redux

After installing the fork boots and getting the bike all put back together I realized that they had a bit too much slack.

After I installed the nacelle I had to push them down even more so they were looking pretty bunched up so I removed a total of 3 pleats from the bottom of each boot and punched new drain holes on the 2nd lowest pleat of each.

Here is how they look presently, I think I may cut out another pleat to give them a bit less slack.

  1. Thanks for the write up on the fork boots. Never got around to it on my '98 XLH1200. My plan is to install fork boots when I pull the trigger on a new XL1200C (rubber mount!, EFI! ABS!).
