Welcome to tropical Thailand, lots of other motorcycle riders have experienced the problem of rotting rubber. Because replacement boots are often not available, some problems can be replaced by universal aftermarket rubber...

If some of you here could please point me in any direction as far as replacements are concerned, I really appreciate it.
