Need rubber boots for ball joints (250r '89)

[SUPERDAVE]

I had the frame (including the a-arms) of my Honda TRX 250r '89 powder-coated recently, and I removed the rubber boots from the a-arm ball joints. One of them was destroyed during removal, and I need to know if there is a way to get a replacement. The problem is, the manual says that if the rubber boot is damaged, the whole a-arm must be replaced?!?! I can't believe that I would have to by a part that costs hundreds of dollars just to replace a fifty cent rubber piece. Anyone know where to get a replacement rubber boot?

I dont think your situation is that dire, i know that several people on the site here have replaced those, just a matter of digging up the thread. I'll see if i cant find the info.
