Title: Fork Caps
Post by: Yamazer-92 on 02 June 2013, 10:08:24 pm
Rebuilt and refurbished my forks recently, they feel really nice and finally aren't leaking which I am really happy about. My adjustable caps are both stuck though and one of them is completely minced by a mix of a previous owner and myself trying to free it. By stuck I mean the adjustable bolt not the actual cap. New Yamaha ones are very expensive and there don't seem to be many 2nd hand ones about on ebay. Do you think these would be any good?

These are also bike specific, but a bit cheaper. Not sure about the adjusters though  :\

Look similar enough?
I found one:   http://www.fazerspares.com/catalogue/126-1_suspension.htm (http://www.fazerspares.com/catalogue/126-1_suspension.htm)

Yeah cheers Darrsi I saw that one yesterday kind of need both though, could always get it and wait for a 2nd I guess. Those anodised ones look pretty cool though and I am not usually one for blinging up bikes with shiney things. The blue ones would match the calipers. They look sturdy enough, guess there would only be one way to find out.
