Default Lower Fork Axle Cap Help
I recently had my fork lowers powdercoated and I want to replace the stock clamps/lower fork axle caps with black. The stock ones don't match. has anyone done this and know where I can get a set?

I saw a set of black ones hanging on the disply at the dealer today. I don't need them so I didn't check which bikes they fit, but HD does sell black ones.

I called them axle caps. I am actually talking about the lower fork end caps. The part the bolts on to hold the axle in place.
