Anyone got these, used these, seen these up close??? Any reviews?

I am thinking about picking them up cause the pictures for sure do it justice for a blacked out bike.. anyone?

They are just caps to cover up the bolts.
If you want a clean look go grab them nothing wrong with that

Yeah just wondering if anyone has them... I will end up picking them up, just wanted to know if they are a good tight fit. I'd hate to be driving down the road and they fall out.

I'll try them out.

Dave, thats about $2.00 worth of plugs from Lowes hardware section. Stop by the one on Old St Augustine Road tommorrow on your way home from work, you wouldnt believe their selection in the big steel drawer bins in the hardware section!:fact

I think they look good, but 33 dollars for 4 caps? can you really get them from lowes? anyone know where to get them for less then 33 dollars.....

That was the only one that I could find... i searched pretty hard too. But for me I would rather do a NO stress order online. especially with that company, they rock.

Yeah you get all 4 caps...

You know that I think about it.. there was another company but the plugs were polished and didn't match the frame. I like the flat frame black they have.

I have been looking around for quite awhile and this is the best deal yet. I just ordered them and this guy is great to deal with. Most of the ones you'll find are aluminum and $40 a piece. This is a set of 4, which will cover both sides for $30. Tough to pay that for plastic plugs, but like Tex said these match the frame nicely....

I tried to get him to come down on the price, but he just opened a new website and he couldnt undercut his distributors. He told me he was doing very well. I should have got in on this deal along time ago....

Made mine at an injection molding pant I was at 3yrs. ago, both made out of delrin, they're lower profile than the ones pictured. The swingarm pivot bolt cover is actually flush with the frame, and the upper plug is slightly raised above the frame with a small lip. Best of all they were free & made by me :rock

I got a set when they first appeared on ebay. Fit good and tight, and I haven't had any complaints. Several people have asked me about them when they see my bike and asked if it was a Yamaha part as the match is about perfect. Got them in no time flat. Good deal overall.

slyfox03

03-07-2007, 08:40 AM

I am considering making some in order to cut costs for members on here. I haven't ordered a set to see how they are made. how are these held in and are you able to get them out easily? Also, does anyone know if the plugs are interchangeable between years?

wanar1

03-07-2007, 08:59 AM

There only like 25 bucks man:fact I think to get them out you would ruin them ......

Phloyd

03-07-2007, 07:56 PM

slyfox03

03-07-2007, 09:51 PM

sounds good phloyd, the plan right now is to have them laser cut from ABS and will fit flush with the frame. I'll try and get things going by next week and let you know how they work out

Phloyd

03-08-2007, 07:23 AM

Nice, just a few questions/statements on the subject.
See if you can get textured black ABS like the frame paint, and if you cut them your self and your gonna make them flush will I be able to get them out without ruining them, are you gonna put a slight taper to them. Let me know how it turns out.
Oh yea and BTW how much do you think they'll set us back. I know of at least 2 other friends who would want these little bad boys.....I have an 03 R1, another friend has an 04 R1 and yet another friend has an 06 R1, so I can check to see if all the years are the same.
Thanks for your efforts....

slyfox03

03-08-2007, 07:45 AM

I can get the textured ABS so it should match fairly well. I have been thinking about the taper and i think they'll fall out if they are. I will try and come up with a way to get them out as well. As for price, I will have to see what materials and production cost will run and i will get back with you.

silicone is your friend . . . thats how mine are affixed, been on the bike over 3.5yrs., never losened or come off. If I need to remove them all I need is a razor blade & a dental pick :thumbup

I actually a have a company out of CA that I sent the molds to for the sprocket and the tank plastics. Over the last 4 weeks they have been developing them from my molds and are giving me a free set. Its kind of a business deal we have going on right now so info is disclosed for the moment. I should have them in 2 days and I'll let you guys know how they turn out and where to get them....:thumbup

was gonna buy these from mmcoy's but i couldnt place an order 4 some reason so i went down to true value & found some blk plastic caps that to my amazement fit perfect in the 1inch holes on the frame. i got a clutch slider on the big hole so i just need 2 make a cover for the hole on the opposite side. the guy told me to use silicone to keep it in, we'll c how that comes out, BTW those 3 caps i bought were less than $3

I also have the frame holes filled... but I got mine from Shane for free!!!

vics ~ buy a slider for the other hole on the shifter side. It's called a swingarm pivot slider.

I didnt know they even made a slider for that side... Thanks for the tip. :thumbup
Heres a good shot of the plugs....

05-30-2007, 11:47 PM

where can i get a swingarm pivot slider? i kinda feel like i got ripped on my clutch slider cuz my bike got blown over by the wind a few wks back & the clutch slider didnt even reach the ground, the frame sliders took all the impact, shogun BTW, it was like 55bucks, i wouldve paid 60 if it were longer

Nice, there is no significance in having them unplugged right?
i was thinking at first the holes must be there for a reason,
but i guess not.

Also on the 07's theres only 1 plug each side right,
because the Lower bolt is sticking out a bit, its not flush!!
only a few months left till i send you that package man!!! :rock

Guys Please dont waste your money unless you already did...
they have these plugs at any local Sears hardware store.
i bought some yesturday, dont have the pics but i will take one when i get home. I found this becasue i did a search on this to see if anyone else did this .. I guess so, but dont buy em E-Bay!!

FYI i paid $.28 each Plug !!!

i might as well paint R1 on them and sell em for $5.00 !!!

Nice i'm definetly going to order them then.

which one is it gay, are you for them or against them?
