What is the inside diameter of the BSA/Triumph boots? The ones I see on ebay have a 2" inside diameter (fork diameter 49mm = 1.93"). I'm assuming the difference would allow the proper amount of play, or should a fork boot fit snugger than that?

Are these the right BSA/Trumph boots: http://www.classicenglishmotorcycles...tor-Set/Detail

Saw these on EBay (DayStar 408s): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=370407362323

Thanks,

Tie wrap them under the bottom tree. Apply some windex at the dust cover and loop the "lip" on the inside of the boot to the groove on the dust cover.
