replacing plastic side covers

alex.s · August 2nd, 2010, 10:23 PM

i'm talking about those little fake nut-looking plastic covers that cover the frame tube and rear swing arm tubes (?_?) the plastic ones have all fallen out (... i suppose it's also possible they were stolen, now that i think about it...)
has anyone found a nice replacement? i've seen lots of people who simply leave them removed... i was thinking about threading the tubes and screwing a nicer looking metal cap on... what do you people think?

Send this guy a PM. I believe Shinto Racing has replacements for those made of aluminum and colored to your choice. Vince can answer any questions you have.

You might want to put a very light coat of Silicone Caulk (transpearant) on the plugs. They won't vibrate out, and would be difficult to steal.
