To Boot or not to boot? was created by Swifty

So, I've ordered some new shocks and they are coming without boots. Should I bother getting some? Whose running without? Any issues?

I've read they just get full up with water and mud anyway, pretty much like the ones fitted at the moment!

Also just got a steering damper without a boot, again should I bother?

Hi Swifty

I have both without boots for about 8 months now and not had any issues and still look in great condition

I run boots think they do help just to keep dirt off the shocker rod Gwyn lewis recomends fitting them but not cable tying the bottom so to allow water to get out

I've never run boots with no issues.
