Fork plug - where I can get one?
Fork plug - where I can get one?
Hey
Do you guys know where I can get the fork plug or maybe anyone of you have for sale?
The previous owner released his anger on it I suppose and looks terrible.
Or maybe from other bike would fit?
If you don't know what I'm talking about here is a pic (different bike).
Thanks

Hi
I think they are known as fork top nuts (or at least they are here), this might help in your search, oemparts have them for silly money, Do you know a man with a lathe?

The man with lathe I'm familiar with is working in different city than mine haven't spoken with him yet.
I was hoping that maybe somebody have a spare for trade

Take one out and measure it, there will be something that will fit from another bike, my Honda 400 Bros currently has fork caps from a Suzuki SV 650 but CBR600, VFR750 and NC30 ones would have worked too. There isn't that much range in sizes for them so you should get something, it may just be trial and error

Ive just looked through the shed.
I have a spare fork top plug , pm me ( g. eisler ar bt internet.com) no spaces , ar = @ , to fool spam bots.
I dont want cash but I would love rose petal jam if you can do that. otherwise postage and karma will do.

Re: Fork plug - where I can get one?
I understand how the original got damaged , how I did mine.
Do not undo top pinch screw, use a bi hex socket, result mutilated alloy hex.
Lesson learned. The pinch bolt puts a fair nip on the top nut threads.
Since I had my forks maxtonised i have a spare unmolested top nut.
