Axle Nut Caps

[BRPjunkie]

Stopped at my dealer today and he had a pair of axle nut caps for me. He said that BRP sent them a box of them. They are not calling owners, but when bikes come in for service or owners call, they are supplying them at no charge.

Here you go. Excuse the mud. I rode through a construction zone last night and haven't had a chance to clean the Spyder up yet.

...Now, should I keep the stock muffler or sell it?

If it were me, I'd keep it. Sooner or later, you may want a new toy... put the stock muffler back on and then sell the Hindle separately. At least, that's what I do.

Over time, you may find a more widespread crackdown on non-stock mufflers regardless of where you are. Another good reason to keep it... particularly in Kalifornia ( I spent 8 years there in the San Fernando Valley and in San Diego. I know how "leading edge" the state can be. :clap

Thanks, I will be keeping the stock muffler for sure!

Good idea. I agree with ataDude. I know several Spyder owners who decided the aftermarket pipe was too loud and reverted to the stock pipe. Always nice to have the option to put it back on if you need to for whatever reason.:thumbup:
Cheers,

After looking at the axle nut caps and wondering why they are different part numbers, the only difference appears to be that the right side has a longer notch in the center post to allow it to slide over the cotter pin on the right side nut. The right side cap will fit on the left side, but the left side cap will not fit on the right side.

I'm fine with the naked approach on my axle nuts.
