I was looking to buy seal savers for my '04 kdx (stock forks). When I went to their website to buy them, I became confused about which diameter to buy. My fork tubes are 43 mm, but the savers for 36-43 mm tubes are said to fit "most 80 cc bikes". The size said to fit "most bikes 125 cc and higher" are for 44-50 mm tubes. Should I buy the larger ones anyway?
Thanks!

For the Conventional Forks, I would leave the Boots on. It does look better

The stock boots do a really good job of keeping the dust seals clean. I'd just lift them up occasionally and clean out under them.

re: 'but the savers for 36-43 mm tubes are said to fit "most 80 cc bikes".'
That's another way of saying, 'KX forks required!'
BTW...you're familiar with the film negative cleaning idea?
