Default Brake Reservoir Caps Peeling?

Hey Guys, I have an 08 Deluxe and it has the black brake reservoirs and the caps have been peeling bad. Anyone know if and where I can buy just the caps?

Lots of them at Swap Meets, or the Harley Dealer, or eBay, have a look around man.
I took mine off of my 05 Road King, sanded them and spray painted them with canned paint, they came out great.
You have options.

I painted the ones on my 06 as well. The DOT 4 is puking out the vent and eating the paint. Chrome ones would be the best bet to keep the fluid from eating it.

Oh and just about any place will have the caps. Dealer, JP cycles, ebay.

Mine do also, if you have the warranty or extended warranty, HD will replace them free. I'm on my 4th set of free ones. I asked about free replacing with Chrome ones (to save them time and money, but they didn't go for it)

Thanks for the info I have been looking on ebay but not sure what years would fit on mine.


Rad, I didn't even think about that. Good call. I still have my extended warranty and I did notice when I washed my bike this weekend that my rear reservoir was leaking.
