Thanks for the info.=C2=A0 Today I ordered boots that come with narrow scre=

Wanting something better than plastic zip ties to secure the boots I ventur=
es to the world of hose clamps. You are correct most are too wide. I scoure=
d through Pick Your Part and found certain BMW clamps (left in image) from =
the 80's/90's to not only be narrow enough, but also have a slight bevel on=
the edge. That said it was still a search to find the clamp in an appropri=
ate diameter. I used these on my Tiger rack. I'd assume the midget rack boo=
ts are similar. Sorry I can't tell you the year/model and location the clam=
ps were used but hopefully it helps with your search. Photo for comparison.
