Thanks for the info.

I just picked up a 1978 DT400E that is in decent shape for its years (filling all the squares that went unfilled when I was younger and poorer). Took it out into the Idaho desert for a run last weekend and it ran the legs off my KLR 650. Started with three kicks at 45F. A little crusty looking but I think it gives it character. Just one problem, it leaks badly around the shifter, enough so that I don't have to worry about finding my way back home. Looks like I need a shift shaft sealing boot according to bikebandit.com. Unfortunately it seems to be a discontinued item. Does anyone know of a source or suitable substitute? Thanks, Rob
