Default Triple tree center bolt
Does anyone know if there are covers for the center triple tree bolt available?
I recently removed my stock riser and the center bolt on the triple tree just doesn't look right even when polished.

How simple is the install?

The center bolt is easy. unbolt stock one, re-bolt the Joker one. 1 minute job. The fork caps were a pain due to high compressed springs. Took 2 of us to push the springs back in and get the caps on. These are great caps and center bolt though. I love them. Great product.

I caught that.
I really like that the pattern matches my RSD Tracker grips and pegs.
Thanks for the input.

Did you have to torque the nut or did you just tighten by feel?

I just tightened to feel. I check my bolts and such every so often and haven't had any loosening up issues at all with these. I also have the RSD brass grips and a few other RSD items.
