New cheap bling

[scott2007nomad]

Can you see the chrome cover over the bolt on the right that holds the top of the fork?

Let's just say the idea came to me while standing up in the restroom.

A little Amazing Goop later, BLING!

Now that's an interesting idea!

[dogdoc]

come off a commode? LOL

[fish]

looks like the cover for the shut-off on a urinal?

[wheelie]

Looks like a trip to the local plumbing supply store is in order. Ain't Nomaders are a clever bunch?

[Jared]

I actually have one as well but I couldn't figure out how to make it stay. Please tell more......part number? how it is applied? etc.

Looks nice.

I can see it now, The rape and plunder of every mens room in America! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Don't eat the mints!

[dogdoc]

silcone adhesive caulk, just a dab is all you need. if you read all the catalogs for add on bling, they say attach with silicone adhesive. if you want it off someday just pull it off. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

With your brain so intently engaged, I hope your shoes remained dry.
;)

For us plumbing-challenged types, what specifically are we looking for?

And could glue and a magnet replace silicon caulk for attachment?

(Damn, my shoes!)

there is a friend of mine on another site who rides a Vol, and 90% of the chrome is from Lowe's & Home depot... but the bike is amazing looking even won trophies for best at show,,go figure. if i can get a pic and then learn how to up load on here i'd show you what it looks like

silcone adhesive caulk

That would work, but what if you wanted to work on the shocks?

I used "Household Amazing Goop" to hold it on.

Also available at Wally World.

As far as part number, I can't help you with that one.
I just used what was handy.

I think it would pry off fairly easy as Amazing Goop stays somewhat flexible.

BINGO

It must be brass as a magnet doesn't stick to it.

It would be awesome if someone could locate a part number. I only have one and would like three to cover the top of the fork tubes and the center nut.

Hey Pete, speaking of Rick, are you and Pam going to the Treehouse tomorrow for the cookout? You do know that Josie and Paul are gonna be there, don't you?

The center nut is a bit taller so the same cover won't fit both.

CheriAnn, it must be a man thing. Maybe we just have to much time that we spend time looking around the men's room looking for bling.

Cool, what great responses. If you go to a Peterbuilt or other transport truck shops you will find many sizes of chrome nut covers some of which will fit on top of the triple tree in like manner and sometimes other nuts on the bike.

Plumbing shops also sell chrome piping as toilet connectors that you can use to feed electrical through or a chrome bushings to extend mounts. On a roll now.

Guys spend less time in the head so credit is due for quick recognition of a great mod. Kudos.

[scott2007nomad]

I don't see a part number on the extra one I have.
It's interior diameter is 1.5" before the ring of plastic threads are removed. Once the threads are out, it fits perfect.
The depth is only about 5/8" so it's not deep enough to fit over the center nut on mine.

Yikes wait till the Harley crowds get word of this I can hear it now Oh look it's a porta pottie ...

[hammer]

If you find a way to stamp or paste an HD sticker on it they will pay a hundred dollars for it anyway. Sorry, I could not resist.

I am guessing it is off a Sloan Flush Valve. Here is a link to parts diagram...maybe the Vandal Resistant (yeah right) cap?

Now would that be in the restroom or bike? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

I'm interested about Scott's "new cheap bling" idea he had to cover the fork bolts.
So I contacted him and got more specific instructions on exactly what part it was, so perhaps I could do the same mod.. He also asked if I could post the info for others to use. Here's what I know so far.

Scott said...
....."I looked today and the writing on the valve reads "H-700 series stop" and "Royal Sloan USA" on the valve.

This document looks like it shows the part on page three.
http://www.sloanvalve.com/Maintenance_Guides/0816333.pdf

Repair Parts - Vandal Resistant Cap*, chrome plated
Part# H-1010-A
Code# 3308791

But I don't know where they can be purchased locally."

Scott refers to pg. 3, and that indeed could be it.
If you click on the link of the pdf. file and go to the bottom of pg. 5 you'll see CONTROL STOP REPAIR KITS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS.
A similar cap is there along with a part number. It is a "Sloan" mfg. part and the part and code numbers are:
Part #H-1009-A
Code #3308790.
There looks to be a few possible choices that may fit the Nomad.
I'm going to try and get to my local plumbing wholesale store to see if they can help. Because Home Depot doesn't carry that type of thing. A specialty store is needed.
So I hope this helps any of you there that might like to do this "new cheap bling" modification. ;) http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif
