Default Which flush front axle kit?
I have my wheel at the dealer now and was thinking of a flush axle kit. Upon looking it up there are kits from $50 ish up to $180. Is there a forum favorite?

is there one that doesn’t rquire the left side to be pressed in

Mine is from Native Custom Baggers. Not a big deal to press the nut as a good kit includes a tool for it. After initial harder press-in you can take it in and out easier should you need to service the fork leg.

that was my concern. I have installed the native on my buddy’s bike and it was cake but have read that you cannot get the the lower fork bolt once that side was pressed in.

The bolt from tool they provide with a kit is used to punch the pressed cap out.
