    Tired off looking at that empty hole in steering stem? Think $16.95 is too much money for a trick aluminum cover. Like wine? Go buy a bottle of your favorite wine, drink it, get up next day after hangover and install cork in steering stem. If it's too tall, shorten it. Thank you

    I had to go through dozens of wine bottles but I have not found the perfect one, it like a neverending quest. ;)

    Works as well with corks from port, limoncello or whisky bottles.

    Oh look, I'll need to buy some risers to have the space fit a cork in there ;). Was wondering how I'd justify another purchase to the household treasurer.

    WOW, What an idea. I could start buying Bud Wipe in bottles and in a couple of weeks I could have a lifetime time supply of caps. Great Idea

    In Australia, a 19mm plastic end cap from Clark Rubber. Or I can send you one for $19.95 with free postage.

    Well that's great, another reason why we shouldn't drink! And I've been on a never ending quest to find something to fill that hole. And Mystery1 comes up with something useful to solve the problem. And an ingenious idea at that, never have come up with a good place to mount one of those electrical thingies that I thought was worth a s__t. Great Idea. Forest

    Hell if it wasn't for beer I probably wouldn't of thought of it or even tried to do it. About halfway thru I was questioning my sanity. Good thing it was raining that day otherwise I would probably given up went riding.
