I ca'd the drive shaft boots on .. hope they hold up well enuff.. I installed the ring as well, but not ca'd.
I've been running cva boots on my ttr S3, and they last pretty good. The rubber isnt as thick as the Serpent ones though. And I stuff em full of grease and I haven't had to replace a cvd on my ttr S3 except for one that got bent in a bad crash.
