i put these on from Raw Designs last year. easy install. theres a big plastic washer inside. place it on the fork, cover the cap with a rag or towel and carefully tap with a rubber mallet.

They are really nice - but I'd be worried about them working loose... I guess they are a VERY snug fit.

Can't tell from the pic - stem nut cover too?

Honda OEM ones are a good look and they set screw down.

I think I remember another thread with photo's of the others option choices. I made some out of some stilleto grip ends. No need for any on the new eight degree tree's

Cheers Dave. I did a search before posting, but didn't come across anything.

I bought the Accutronix Tribal Fork Nut Covers to match the forward controls I got from them.

Very happy to have more sharp points to keep the "touchers" away from my bike!

Hey Fishman. I don't think they do a stem nut though, and I'd like a consistent look for all 3.

I remember RSS had some nice looking ones before he went with the new tree's. You might want check in with him for some input.

I'll google them... And there was I thinking I'd just have to choose between flat and domed

You might check about those laws in Oz.
Another of your blokes Down Under couldn't buy a D&M spike (pointy) air intake for safety reasons/laws.

Dang - this is not going to be an easy choice... Cheers.

Hey StPeteAPB - yeah - that was me. Although you can buy the spike here (through a rep for D&M at a massively increased price), it would be a cop magnet if I fit it...

OMG, that's funny.
(that i referred you to speak to you)

I don't get that whole spike intake thing, at all. If they feel it could hurt someone, don't the see the person would get hit with the handle bar long before the spike got them??

 

[ALEYRAY]

i used the ends of my oem grips. used a little silicone to glue them in place. on the center nut used the inside chrome bezel also from the grip.

Yeah - I thought so too
I agree - but given the spike would make any impact worse... No arguing. Anyways, I have my second choice sitting in the garage, waiting for my L&M spike adapter (chrome) to arrive... I have the 'bullet' spike, with 180 deg slots

Ingenious! A practical application of recycling
