Default Low air shocks bottom rubber boot

My air shocks were leaking and I bought a used set of the lower ones, and the did not come with the rubber boots. I didn't think it was a big deal and I would just put the set on from my old shocks. When I was removing them I put a small tear on the boot. (Plus the old boots are a bit longer than needed)

Lookers up on the parts fische and it doesn't appear that they have a part number for them. Does anybody know if these are available either from harley or aftermarket?

Thanks

Try the Honda dealer - shock are nearly the same as early (1980ish) Goldwing shocks and Honda sells all the internals.

I would get to autozone (etc.) and look for a "speedyboot" CV joint cover kit.

These are a rubber boot which is open on 1 side, so that it can be wrapped around an auto FWD CV joint and then secured with hose clamps ( CV joints need be protected from dust).

these are cheap, easy and in a variety of sizes and shapes.

and won't be seen with saddlebags in place
