Good job making very good looking replacements.
Why did you choose to make caps rather than buy OE ones to replace the ones you lost?

Thanks Billy..when i bought my Spyder back in July, it did not have any. And i did see some online that looked cool..but I just sorta stumbled across the fact the pvc would fit. So i decided to run with it..and if i lose one they're easy enough to make. And no waiting for delivery

While I can totally dig the thinking outside the box element, the stock oem caps are only $5ea.

Thanks for the comment. They just slipped on. I'm not sure what the cotter pin looked like on yours.

Really? I didn't looked into the stock ones and didn't know that most of the 2008's were sent to dealer without them until after I started. Being I had the paint and PVC tubing already the four cost me just over $4. Plus I was patting myself on the back for the epiphany I have when I saw the PVC. And they're the only ones like them.

Major props given for the diy, no doubt! Nice work!
I also get the need sometimes to just keep busy with a good diy project...I get it.
Any concerns with moisture becoming trapped behind the cap?

Thanks..I am thinking there may be other issues as well,including the moisture. .I took an hour ride this morning to see if there were any issues. Highway and local with some twisties included. Arrived home with all four caps in place. I may have to heed your point and check for moisture every now and then.
Thanks for the comment and heads up!
