Author Message   Psyclown Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2011 - 05:51 pm:        Need axle caps for my Cyclone. Anyone know where I can find em, or something that doesnt look horrible that will do the trick?   Purpony Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2011 - 10:59 pm:        are you talking about the covers that go over the axle nut? I am working with someone right now that is making a set of rear sliders for a tuber that cover the axle nuts...   Jkgonzo Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2011 - 11:17 pm:        I am working with someone right now that is making a set of rear sliders for a tuber that cover the axle nuts... So does that mean you may have them available for the rest of us??   Psyclown Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 - 07:35 am:        "are you talking about the covers that go over the axle nut?" Yes   Kyrocket Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 - 08:33 am:        I think they're all gone. A set on e-bay went for $150 and we all started grabbing up the leftovers. I found a rear set in Alabama and when I called the woman laughed and said that they hadn't moved a set in months and they started the week with 14 and I got the next to last. I believe they were like $40 shipped. Good luck, I believe I did see a whole set on e-bay while I was looking for X1 stuff. That's probably going to be your best bet.   Psyclown Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 - 08:40 am:        I figured they would be hard to find. There's got to be an alternative out there.   Purpony Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 - 08:58 am:        Yes, there is a guy on buellxb that makes sliders for the XBs..and is working on sliders for tubers. I sent him my spare rear axle for mockup and suggested he make them to work as a cover... just waiting on them... probably a week or to and when they are finished and tested, ill post up.   Jayvee Posted on Tuesday, July 05, 2011 - 01:59 pm:        I had the covers with a little Pegasus on the front axle, but talk about "useless weight", and it's unsprung at that. I was going for maximum Pegusi at the time. I got these sliders for the rear, from Twin MC, but haven't put on yet. I often use a steel bar through the rear axle with a couple of jackstands for a cheap rear lift. At least these are potentially functional, although one hopes not.   Psyclown Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 08:51 am:        Jayvee, What is Twin MC?   Blackm2 Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 10:44 am:        I'd be in for those covers as well.   Psyclown Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - 12:11 pm:        Purpony, Its been two weeks. How do they work/look?   Purpony Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - 12:16 pm:        I have not gotten them yet. I got a voicemail from the guy about pricing the other day, need to call him back tonight. Ill have info soon.   Dutch_x1 Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2011 - 06:49 am:        Psyclown: Twin mc : twin motorcycles http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=YXHFSC&aid=2637&cid=0&s=Axle%20Slider&a=&anam e=GSG_Tube_frame_rear_axle_sliders_
