What are front axle chrome covers called and where to get them?
The MoCo actually made two different style of "axle covers" for the springer bikes.
There was the OEM axle bolt cover #43466-97, that attached to the fender, on Springers with the big front fender that mounted to the front axle bolt. It was called a fender hub cap.
There was also a rocker cover kit #43161-97, that covered the entire rocker of the springer fork and the axle bolt.
I believe both HD parts are obsolete.
You will need to search the aftermarket or find some NOS (new old stock).
