I need to buy a pair of fork boots for my 91 KDX200. I didn't realize that there were so many different sizes/choices. Not knowing the exact specs of my front fork dampers (I just picked up the bike Saturday), would someone kindly tell me what size boot would fit?
For example:
These are supposed to fit 30-40mm tubes with up to 11" of travel:

OTOH, these are for 40-48mm tubes with up to 13" of travel:
http://www.bikebandit.com/daystar-69-se ... s?m=150170
So I guess I just need to know the size of the fork in mm and length of travel.
Many thanks.

Re: Fork boot replacements
FWIW, I discovered that the E series up to 1992 used 43mm tubes with a travel of 11.4"
I ended up purchasing the Daystar 69 series in Royal Blue. :D

Daystar 69 is what was on my 1987 KDX200 with 43mm tubes. They are the correct ones for 1986 - 1992 KDX200 and 1995+ KDX200/220R.

Hi. Thanks for the compliment. That is actually a 10 year old picture.
Those are Daystar 69 boots. They work great.
