First, to clear up a misunderstanding. The Astoria boots are made of silicone rubber and they are thinner than stock boots. This should work to advantage, as they should be less bothered by heat. Hopefully they are strong enough to not be damaged by road debris. Time will tell.


The clamps that came with the boots were OUTSTANDING. Last time, I had to go through several sets before I found clamps that fit correctly and held tight. These are general purpose, so they have to be cut to length. Once that's done, they worked beautifully. The crimp area is very large...about 1/4", so you can get them really tight.

And so, done. I think I'd use them again.
