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
Andy

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).

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