Thanks for the info, I did see that 3TB item but discarded as no good, I think I'll get one on order before they sell out, could always adapt, but before I do I need to scratch me head and find out what else I may need, cables / cable boots / etc etc etc etc, might be just as cheap to get them from US. It's really annoying (done it already) when you order something and a day or two later see something else you need that they sale, especially if its long distance.

Yeah Mate, you got it in one :rofl:

I remember when I was a kid riding ancient bikes['70's stuff]seeing some guys making their own suspension boots for the early single shock dirt bikes. I think they used pieces of inner tube back then to keep the crap out where it shouldn't be when the manufacturers only ever used a bit of hard plastic fixed with self tappers................
Cheers Will.

Oh, bollox's, should have read this first, just this minite found and bought a new and original item from Ebay.de. 50 euros delivered.
Found a crappy LH side panel too, needs paint and zip ties as no location pins.- I'm sure I can lash something togeather.
I also couldn't help myself at wemoto, £100 on cables, bearings, gaiters and stuff and AJ suttons have just delivered front and rear mudguard.
A bit of a runaway train at the mo............................ :fireball:
Come to think of it I might buy the alternative boot as a spare. :kboom:
