I used the smaller nut covers but used heat shrink to hold it on. Mine are still on.
I used heat shrink on the track rods too.
File the sharp edges on the locking nuts on the top ball joint. Dont use tape, they dont like that.

BTW SWTOC met at Castle Combe yesterday, good day. In 2 weeks Castle Combe meet and then BBQ after, why not come along.

Think I saw that one , Kawasaki powered if I remember. 3 Tigers were in the car park behand Quarry. Mine was in the paddock on a trailer.

2 bits of heatshrink over each nut did it for me, I found big enough stuff in B & Q.
