Maybe it's time: Zapino front fork rubber boot replacements?

[kenobi66]

Hi all,

Can't seem to find a source for the rubber boots on the Zapino (2009) front fork. Has anyone had any luck scoring these? Something else that fits? I tried my luck at AliExpress but got a lot of "sorry friend" answers. Thanksthanks!

If you can match the dimensions at least generally, one of these places might have something usable

Google Search

I would guess that you're more likely to find something by dimensions than by name, if it's not a popular fork brand/model/year.

Hi amberwolf, thanks for the reply here,

Yeah, I checked a bunch of places. The dimension used to identify a given boot is for the diameter whose measurement is least accessible on the Zapino : way up under the dustbin fairing beyond the reach of my micrometer. I had been hoping to avoid disassembling the whole thing in the freezing cold, bang knuckles & have parts strewn around to get lost, preferring (hoping) someone had done this before & knows exactly what to get. Aaaanyway, I guess I'll have to pull the whole thing apart & figure it out.

Thanksthanks!
