Rubber "BOOT" for rear shock XT600?? HELP!
Does anyone know where I can get hold of one of the rubber "BOOT" things that fit on the bottom of the shock and around the square hole on the Swing-arm?? The bike is a 1989 2KF XT600
I cannot find a Yamaha Dealer near to me that speaks English as I don't speak Spanish, ( even if I could I'm transportless at the moment so having to rely on post and Internet to get the bike up and running)
I have even thought of buying a secondhand rear shock off ebay but at about 60 euro inc postage it seems steep just to get hold of rubber boot?
So, if anyone can help me, (Maybe you have one lying around that is in good condition and would sell it) or you know who i can order one from i would be eternally grateful
Thanks
Martyn

Why not phone a dealer in the UK ???
I work in a motorcycle dealer. If you want me too, I can order and post the boot to you.
Will have to be new one though.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
