I believe it's the 11 rib boot, don't have the bike here at work today, so I can't be 100% positive about it .

I can give you part numbers for the boots, and the clamps, after I get home at 2330 today .

Yes!  I've got the 14 or 15 rib boot on mine and I would go with something with less ribs had I known.  It works but doesn't look right.

Mine are 11-rib. Purchased them recently from Bob's parts department. (Yeah, I know I could have shopped around, but instant gratification has its pleasures.) They fit. When first installed, I thought they looked weird & might the wrong size. But over time, the conformation of the ridges adjusts, and now they look fine.

The 11 rib one looks right to me.
