Default 49mm fork dust caps

I remember someone posting a while back that used low profile fork slider dust caps of a Sportster 48 maybe?? Been trying to find confirmation that they'll fit a Dyna.

If my memory serves, it was cvaria; it's buried in his RIP Wide Glide build thread I believe. I'll see if I can find it...

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking of. Had a mental note to order those next time I had the forks off for any reason. I'm swapping on a set of FXDL trees, and I remembered the fork caps.

Just a follow up--

To verify, the part #45070-01 is for only one cap. I suspected this, and verified it with the HD parts guy when I ordered. Yet somehow he still only ordered me 1. Grrrr....

Here's the stock Dyna compared to the Sportster 48/Vrod piece.



Gives the illusion of longer fork tubes, which was why I wanted them.



One of those cheap, subtle mods that most people won't notice, which is exactly why I like it.

Very nice. Wonder if they come in black. Ohlins NIX 22's are in my future the moment they come out for standard fork length Dynas, so...
