Fork Boot Orientation

[2017EX_imp]

I just got my OEM 2019 CB1100EX fork boots in from Mr. T. The boots have 2 molding seams running the length of the boot. One of those seams has an air escape hole at each accordion fold. Does anyone here own a 2019 CB1100EX, or if not has anyone seen one in the flesh to know what orientation Honda places the boots in, with regard to position of those vent holes?

If the vent holes are facing the rear, that means the opposite molding seam faces the front of the bike. I have tried zooming in on 2019 CB1100EX pictures, and it looks like the seam with no holes faces away from the bike on both sides, meaning that the seam with the vent holes faces inward toward the front fender on both sides. Can anyone confirm? I have borrowed Bazbro s excellent picture of his OEM fork boots and attached below. Zoom in on the picture to see the vent holes.
