Anyone else having trouble with the rear rubber boot on the trailing arm not staying connected? On my bike, the front of the rubber boot disconnects from the front side of the trailing arm. If you pull it back a little you can see the drive shaft. Also working it back in place only lasts a little while before it pops out again. Looks like another warranty job unless I can figure out how to get it to stay?

On my oilhead, there's what looks like a zip tie around the boot to hold it in place. Is there one on your bike?

No the connection is inside the trailing arm. But I am thinking about a couple of zip-ties.
