Fork End Cap - Flush Axle - questions options
« on: May 24, 2013, 11:29:13 AM »
I am looking at replacing the fork end cap. I like the way the Bad as Hell bolts on, but I am not thrilled with the fact that it hangs lower than the fixed side. If you look at reply 22 and 24 in this thread http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=12928.15 you can see what I am talking about. It is pretty noticeable in person, has nobody noticed this before or am I just being to picky? Does anybody know how the FBI cap compares?

Does anybody besides Bad as Hell make a cap that bolts on with the stock hardware? Not thrilled about removing the studs out of the fork legs.

Opinions/thoughts??

Whether it hangs lower or not it still looks better than one side round and one side square!  ;)

I have yet to come across a flush fork cap that is a different size. I imagine that is due to the thickness required for the mounting hardware.

definitely looks better than stock, and I do like not removing the stock studs

You are not removing the stock studs..he supplies 12pt nuts to bolt the cap on with. And now that you mention it, I did just notice it is a little lower than the other side......But I am still happy with mine!!!!!
