Default Fork Stem Cap
Doing 10k service on my Heritage. Getting into some new ground with the steering head adjustment. Any secret to taking the cap off. Is it just a friction fit where I just need to get a tool under it to pop it off? Don't want to scratch the chrome

Good thing I asked. I assumed it was a friction fit and pried off. LOL. Thanks much.

No problem. Hey Jimmers, are you the one with a dark blue pearl Heritage and added a fairing?

You got the color right but no fairing for me. Though my next bike may have one.

I'm ordering one next Wednesday. I have a couple long distance trips planned. I have a painter lined up and got the paint code. he's going to paint it for 250.. When I get it painted and installed, I'll snap a couple pics so you can see what your bike will look with one on if you'd like.

Sure. I'm definitely curious about what Heritage would look like with a fairing.
