i have found that instead of paying the 20-25 dollars for the oem boot, just go to an auto part store and fine one with the same dimensions. i have a friend who works at a car quest he took my ripped boot to work with him and matched it up with a boot from a geo metro..and it only cost me like 6 or 7 bucks.. hope this helps ................ has anyone else done this

I have done that with PoPo axles, but for some reason I have spares for the foremans. Also the auto cv boots are thicker than the oem replacements for atv's

Don't know if your quad is still under warranty but my buddy has had two of them replaced for free at the dealer under warranty. I think it depends which service manager you deal with.
