Might have to get a set.
Any complaints?
That's the main reason I ordered these, you can raise your tubes back up to the original position.
And no complaints at all, it's a high quality product, and Rockets Bobs was very quick in response and delivery.

They're held on with silicon adhesive, which comes with the kit.

Those look sweet! How hard was it to get the threads started when installing?


BTW Joe, that parking lot pic makes your bike/powder POP. Amazing!

Not hard at all, same as with the stock caps. I did remove my fork legs though 'cause I wanted to change my oil too.

If you really want to do it right you have to shave the bolt to for a real clean look...

Hey,

Do you need to lift/support the front end/forks of the bike when you unscrew the fork nuts? And install the new shaved ones? Or can you do install them with the bike just on the kickstand?

Since they are fastened with an adhesive, what do you do when you need to get them off the next time?
