750 Spectre Shock Boots

Does anyone know the dimensions of the 750 Spectre shock boots? especially the I.D. of the end that fits onto the upper shock housing.
Or lacking that, the O.D. of the upper shock housing where the shock boots fit?  Thanks.

By the way, if you ever find seals to rebuild these with, please let me know - I like the ride height of my 900 shocks but the smoothness of the air would be nice for my delivery job.

Thanks.  Second pic >> Is that 68mm measurement taken over the shock boot?

The reason for the measurements is that some Honda GL1200s have very similar shock boots & aftermarket Honda boots are available. 
I think they might fit.  see EB item & pic.

They look perfect to me - I think I'll pick up a pair. The second pic is of the calipers on the wider lip of the shock body, no boot. Even if the aftermarket replacements are straight 65mm it should work alright with some clamps, but I think I see a lip.

Thanks.  I did not do an exhaustive search, so there may be others available.  I just happened to stumble upon those aftermarket shock boots & got to wondering if they'd work on a Spectre.
