Can anyone recommend any decent ones for my track bike (showa forks) - ive seen the R&G ones but seem a bit pricey at £30..?!

I remember seeing some good ducati fit ones on ebay but they dont appear to be there now ?

Cheers

JHP £18 and you don't have to remove them to whip the spindle out

You got any pic's of these ?

I did have the R&G one and they are very well made, but, a little "fussy" looking for my taste. Looking for a simple race style solution.

Put R&G on my front forks. Seemed fine and easy to put on. I think you can get 2 types flatter and wider or thinner and taller. However the JHP ones sound interesting.

Just because you can't catch it eh Pete.

Like I said you have to look very closely. They are only big enough to allow a socket to be passed over them. Saves a lot of time when switching wheels,etc. The protrude about 30-35mm just enough to take the wear if you should be unfortunate enough to bin it.

I got the bike from a guy named Chris Seville. Lives up north.
The bike was prepared by Jim at :puzzled: My minds gone a total blank, it will come back to me soon. I will get back to you on it.
