Read a few posts about problems with flush mounted axles gaulding up. They where older posts, whats the consenses now. Any problems getting the axle out, would you use it again? Whats a good one to use?

 

A little Anti-sieze should take care of that problem.

 

TO ME, I like the looks but once one of the end caps "bites" into the fork and sinks down when tightened......it's on there FOREVER. I put a flush mount axle on when I had the pre-chromed fork legs, and when it came time to move the axle to my chrome fork legs, the axle comes out with ease, but the end cap wouldn't come out. I gave up after beating the crap out of it and ruining my OEM fork leg.

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.

 

I had the FBI flush mount on my 07 SG and never had a problem! They run about $100.

 

...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.

 

+1 on the FBI flush mount and end cap. Easy install and no issues...and it looks great!

 

http://www.nativecustombaggers.com/products.php i have been using these without any problems, i think they look great for $99, especially compared to an axle nut cover , its alot cleaner look

 

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.
