I know this is an old topic, but I saw on 'gear4bikes.com' UK, that they had boots. Part number 753351 for $20.41 (14.15gb). Has anyone checked them out? I just ordered a EBC clutch kit from them today for $64.00 to the states.

holey crap! Shipping is just stupid!! 39 pound sterling they also had the rear sproket. It might just be worth it if you can get the sprokets for the price they advertise?

I'm surprised Parts N More doesn't have those dust boots. They fit a LOT of bikes, according to gear4bikes.

I checked the cross referanced bike dust covers and NONE of them resemble the GT500s dust seals. Oh well there is still the guy in france that made them? Did anyone else get a set from him?

I bought a set from him, Dofin. They're really nice.

Thanks Stu, I havent had a chance to use mine yet. Seems there is always something else that gets in the way of finishing my other GT. Dofin

It's a long shot, but have you looked at the sets at MikesXS.com for the XS650 Yamahas?

I have a set on my L model GT750 and they are fine but not stock.

One nice thing about the French repros is that they're new. The other nice thing is that they're silicone. They'll likely last longer than the bike. I bought a OEM set from Suzukidave (the guy in the UK) that were NOS. They were perfect when they arrived. But 90 days after I installed them, they'd deteriorated so badly, they were as bad as the originals. Buying 30-year old rubber is a gamble.

Hi,
I have not made with silicone but with polyurethane elastomere because the silicone is too soft and less resistant.

Regards.

Okay, sorry to misrepresent your product. But whatever you used, it's holding up well.
