[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 943371, member: 13519"] Yeah...I didn't look at the price, but it was labeled "cap" or "end cap." Whatever that is. My 2007 doesn't have one. I wonder if Fred is right and the bike leaves Japan with a cap in the end of the axel that gets tossed by the dealers at prep. I do think having the axel nut reduces the chances of stripping anything, but as mentioned, I've never heard of anyone stripping a Gen1 fork. What I do wonder about is why they went from one pinchbolt to four pinchbolts. I could see going to two...One one each side, just for redundancy, but four? Something caused that...I just wonder what.
