Default Bad as Hell End Cap Installation ??

I purchased a BAH end cap off Ebay but it didn't come with installation instructions. Do I pull the studs off the end of fork and replace with alan head bolts? If that is the case, does anyone have the thread size and length of these bolts? Or... do I somehow put nuts on the studs with the cap? There are some black plugs that come with the kit... what are these for?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

Is this what you are talking about?

http://www.badashell.net/BikerNet_Installation.htm

it doesn't specify, but looks like the original hardware gets reused.
If you want to upgrade to better bolts, take one off and bring it to you local hardware store, or indy shop to match it up.

I can't get that link to open. But from the pictures on eBay they also look like you reuse the stock bolts. I just don't know how I'm gonna get something in the holes to turn the nuts?

I think they need to be allen head bolts. Or I guess Torx would work also.

Call me big time dumb! I took a look at the " black plugs" tonight when I got home and they are actually a threaded nut. They are basically a reverse torque head and a socket should work on them.
