What ever happened to "Don't ask, don't tell."?

I used the "Don't LOOK ETHEL!" method for RIPSAW...

Flush mount axle is the way for it to look good in my opinion. Not to mention you won't have to look at anyone's nutz that way either!!

If you google "harley front axle nut covers" and go to images you will get much better results than you have here so far.

I did all that (I have a brown belt in google) just didn't see any real world application pics that satisfied my curiosity.

I'm interested in the Avon contrast cut spikes, and the Covington dimple ones...but now I may be thinking flush mount or yaxle.

I just had the front end replaced (crash) so I'm not swapping forks.
