Title: Help wanted locating fork boots for PE400
Post by: YZ250H on August 24, 2009, 09:13:48 pm

Yes, I said PE400, but there are'nt for me - a bloke up here is restoring one and nearly there.
I think it is 310 long, 36 diameter and 56 diameter.  Has 16 rings.

Any help appreciated (by me and my mate)

thanks mate.   Genuine is probably a big call, but I don't know anything about Suzukis except they are yellow  ;D
An aftermarket one that fits the bill would be OK I think

Try an email to Brett   [email protected]

He has a good deal of Suzuki parts and I had some luck with an airbox for my 76 RM370 recently.

All the best

Pete

Thanks Pete.  If it was a yamaha I'd be right.  RM370 is a top bike I used to have one.  I'd love to own one again one day.  Thanks for the tip - I'll send an email and see what I can come up with.

you could get a local dealer to order in some of these

I put them on the YZ, they're pretty good quality, not flimsy like some of the other brands I've seen.

Thanks for that Paul.  I think they will be just the ticket.

I know this will sound very obvious but...
Have you tried your local Suzuki dealer, I know for a fact (because I bought them myself) that stock RM fork boots for just about every year are still available from Suzuki..

and did they tell you the part how they are blue? Yeah of course the old suzuki fork boots are available but they are supcerceeded o later blue DR fork boots. So many guys have been caught out by this when ordering new PE fok boots.

The Cemoto ones recommended by mainline appear to be the go.
