| Very smart Phill, love the speedo visor really adds a nice look and very good find with the 55mm chrome towball covers. I bet there will be a rush on them at that silly price | |

| when you fit the covers dave and marcin,be careful not to use to much force on them or they will split,its a perfect fit if you dont force them to much. | |

| Thanks Phill, good shout. Just noticed you said you would like to get some more mods done before winter is out. That Chrome spiked air filter Sim is selling would look glorious on your ride. | |

| Well my fake fork caps arrived..and ones finish is messed up. The poly wrap is porous at the top of one of them :S
I'll position it so it can't be seen but it will be bugging the hell out of me in the back of my mind...grrr | |

| Drill a little hole in the bottom of them, otherwise they will eventuaully fill with water and the weight will help them come off. It don't matter how you put it on or how tight it is, sooner or later it will fill | |

| I've sent a feedback message to the seller, not really pushing for replacement but they replied promptly asking for photo, which I provided.
Now I received an email asking if I'd like a free replacement for the faulty one. Hell yeah :]
Very nice service. | |

| I tried fitting the covers that you guys got got Phill and Marcin. All I can say is my forks must be bigger than yours because I split the first one getting it on, so out of curiosity I sprayed the second one with WD40 to see if that would go on and that split as well. Both split as they first went on, neither were forced. They were only a couple of quid, so nothing lost. | |

| That sucks Dave :shock:
After I've read that I went to the garage with the faulty one and tried to fit it... I slid it about half way in - tight fit but it goes in. What may cause a split is the fact that the fork is not fully round and the cap stretches unnaturally in two places.
At least, like you said, it's not a big loss and I'm mentally ready to suffer the same fate knowing how gentle I am with plastic ;D | |

| hard luck dave,mine is a 2002 model marcins is 2003 so as to the size im not sure.wonder if you can get metal ones instead of plastic. could even cut a slit in the cover to ease the pressure etc. | |
