The key is do the Flush mount axle and chrome fork legs simultaneously IMO.
If you feel you gotta have one, look on e-bay for Mike Correll. He's a member here too as well and has the best prices if you ask me.

...nah, just use anti-seize as instructed and u'll never have a problem.
Plus havin ur bike look better than those that don't have a flush-axle is worth the dinero. The bad-as-hell end cap is a must!

I installed the FBI flush axel and end cap when I installed the chrome lower legs. Looks great and havent had one issue. Even had HD replace the tires under warrenty and they didn't have a problem at all.

Forum member Mike Correll, AKA "Puzzled"...is your hookup for the flush mount axle and the Bad As Hell axle cap.
I will caution all of you guys of one thing...
Should you ever need to rebuild your forks, you have to drive the left axle cap out to get to the dampener rod bolt...and that's a bitch.
I run the flush mount axle on my '06 SG.
I put a Diamond Engineering 12pt polished stainless axle on my '09 RG.

Hey BadPiggy got a pic of that 12pt stainless axle on your RG? Looks pretty cool on the website. I'd like to see it on a bike.
