RE: cant find 49mm fork boots
Check this site out for daystar - many different sizes, including 49mm. I'm also considering putting some boots on.

Also check with Special Ed, he found some brit bike (triumph +/or bsa) ones that fit also and don't need to be cut down like the Daystars.

This is what you need, they're 2" diameter which is just a hair over 49mm which is what makes them slide effortlessly over your fork tubes.Shop around you may be able to find a better price.

Chipstah - let me know if I understand the install on these boots correctly.
Raise the bike
1. Remove front caliper(s) without removing brake line(s)
2. Loosen each tree bolt - upper and lower, and left and right, total of 4 bolts, the torx ones on the tree clamps
3. Mark position of fork vertical spacing with grease pencil for the reinstall
4. Slide the forks down & out from the tree with wheel attached
5. Install boots
6. Reverse process for install of forks

Listing #1 is where I got mine, or try a Google search on Daystar series 408. Might also be able to order from your local dirt bike shop for the Daystars - pretty common brand from what I understand.

Its a good idea to tie the calipers temporary to the frame keeps them out of the way.

RE: cant find 49mm fork boots
Sorry but my last post didnt seem to come through.
Tie the calipers temporarily to the frame it keeps them out of the way . One other thought that if you leave the wheel on you need to get the bike a lot higher off the deck . I took my wheel off and then slid the forks out - easy and not to heavy if your on your own.
