FLH Rear Shock Boots split

[BaZa]

H-D do not sell the boots to replace the torn ones on our rear shocks so I did this:

Steering rack boot kit:

Before

Make sure frame is supported before removing shock:

Cleaned shock, new boot and old cut off one.

Make sure oil does not leak from shock absorber.
Perfect fit plastic cable ties fitted:

Silicone smeared around the bottom:

Fitted and ready to go:

And you can buy Shock Mate boots from Amazon:
Monroe SA1997 Shock-Mate Boot Kit
