Title: Anyone have this ?
Post by: gsbarry on December 08, 2006, 12:20:19 PM
Hey, Im missing one cap for the handlebar bolt. If you have all 4 or just 1 you want to sell me or send me than please let me know. Its not a big deal but rust is starting to build inside the head of the bolt. Thanks.

Squirt some Liquid Wrench or WD40 in the pocket, and then fill it up with grease to displace/keep the water out til you get a cap.

Hey Barry
Did you order any from bikebandit.com?
$1.22 each
$4.00 for shipping  :o 
$5.22 for a plastic cap  :mad:

A few days after i read this post i lost a cap  :laugh:

I want to order some, If any ones interested, I could order a few extra then mail them to you for the coast of the part($1.22) and postage ($0.37)
Save you a coupple bucks if you care  :dunno_white:
Ill give it a week if any one wants to order let me know.

If this works out ok, ill do the same thing with superbrightleds.com ($5.00 minimum shipping :mad:)

If I may suggest, get the part #s from Ronayers.com (bikebandit uses their own part#s) and call in the order at your local shop. Same price, no shipping.

I have seen them at Ace Hardware stores.
Also, any cruiser/HD dealer should have them in stock.

+1 for haedware store or local cruiser shop.  I have none of mine cause i swapped the handlebars and didn't see a need for shiny plastic bits.  As stated before just put some grease in there to keep the rust away.

Alright well I sprayed it up with some WD-40 and put a dab of grease inside. Should hold out the infamous enemy thats known as rust. Going to go the Suzuki / Harley dealer today and see what they can get.

Thats a great idea. when I went to the dealer they couldn't find any Cap part numbers, but i easily found them on RonAyers.

You can buy chrome allen screw caps at your local Harley Davidson dealer.  They come in a retail blister-pack of maybe 10 or so, run $5-$7 or so, and will probably be on display right out on the showroom floor.  You can use the extras to dress-up other spots on the bike.  ;)
