Just an idea, if you're taking the fork caps off anyway - J&P sells a replacement fork cap that has a screw-in filler plug in it so in the future when you are replacing the fork oil, you will not need to remove the fork cap. I have a set of them that I intend to install next time I change the fork oil.

They also have some smooth allen headed ones that look nice.

They do not make them for the 49mm forks yet.

Tools are like chrome, or black for the darksiders, you can never have too many.
