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).

I've been looking for a set for my Cross Bones for a long time. They are out of stock everywhere.

I found some for my FX springer from a place in Detroit on eBay.
