Default Forks custom end cap

Anyone have any experience with or hear of anyone using a custom end cap on the front fork that matches the left side fork bottom? I have seen them on eBay for sale with forks. They must be removing the stock threaded studs from the bottom of the fork and using a recessed cap head bolt to hold the end cap on.

Yeah I used one from Hill Country Custom Cycles. You have to remove the studs and it looks great after install. Especially with a flush mount axle.

Just bought this today! Paired with the flush front axle. Can't wait to see them on the bike! Thanks for the timely thread! I was wondering about that myself!

Yeah, I did the FatBaggers flush axle and fork end cap. The stock studs just thread out of the forks and youre good to go.

It is one of those subtle changes that sets your bike apart for not that much money. I put on a flush axle, fork end, and the tapered spacers last year. Looks sharp.

I ordered the end cap with my forks should be here next week. Have a Yaxle on the way and the ***** Shiney spacer that covers the rotor screws. When it's all complete I'll put a photo up. Probably be a couple more weeks.
