I know the feeling too. I had nice silver colored caps on the blackbeast, until some little ***** nicked them and took some air out of the tyres. Got myself some black plastic ones and have not had a problem since (fingers still well and truly crossed)

I did enquire at the time about lockable dust caps, but don't think you can get them

However, I did see in demon tweeks a set of flush fit things, which you need an adapter to use and I think take off, so they could be an alternative.

Personally i'd like to wire them up to the battery and give the little ****** a big shock.

Graham,

I was flicking through the new Demon Tweaks catalogue and notice dustcaps that have a small allen grub screw to hold them in place.

I think they had gold, as well as the usual blue, red and chrome, but not titanium!!

Oh well, hope this helps

Just thought I'd let you know, I was the man responsible for these little buggers!

I used to own a company that speacialised in 24k and silver plating, I was in MaxPower and everything! (Mistakes you make when you are young!)

Richbrook used to use me a lot for these things and used to supply companies such as demon tweaks who sold them for a lot of money considering I got about 4 quid for a set! I dont do it anymore though but it was fun while I could be arsed with it!

Thumbs down

Mine just lasted two days and they were only aluminiun ( if only you could get long lasting super glue and they stuck to the hands).

Mr Lewis

Why would you want to secure your gold coloured dust caps? Could it they match your.........!
