Uh, I clicked the buy it now and went to this page. Sorry, Tejas Thump Cycles Is closed for re-structuring, due to non-payment and a foreclosure, the original owner has taken back the website. All outstanding Motorcycle parts orders ordered from Tejas Thump Cycles should contact: Terry Baird Last known phone number: 806-539-0021 Last Known address: Terry Baird 504 North Renfro St. Meadow, Tx 79345 Uh oh. I liked the ones with the spike in the center. Can you say "Death Race 2000"? Their body parts should not be that close to my bike. |

Found it. They've got their search tags mucked up, so it doesn't show up for 'cap", but it does for "axle". http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go/Home.ProductD etail/IMID/129 Looks like they have 3 sizes, judging by the installation instructions and part numbers. Anyone know which (if any) of the listed bikes have a similar axle setup to our Buells? ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on May 14, 2009) |

I just know if I put them on, I'd go down and wind up having them removed from me at the hospital.
I still like them. |

yeah, I'm seriously considering a set, if I can figure out which ones will fit. My guess would be the Sportster ones...? I'm doing a remodel of my bike at the moment, and going with a bit of a goth/superstition theme. These would be a great addition. ~SM |

Just to clarify.....ah, are those chrome nipple spinners? You got to be careful what you put where! |

Nope. Not for nipples. But you're getting warmer. ~SM |

Bah! These WERE cool untill I just read the details on the site. They're made outta' frikkin' PLASTIC. From the look of them, I had assumed they were aluminum. ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on May 14, 2009) |

I thought they were pricey before, but $99 for a plastic farkle? Oh HELL no. I could fashion something similar out of a kid's toy sword for $5. In fact, I think I may still have one somewhere... maybe I should go into business! ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on May 14, 2009) |

yep, ABS; Reminiscent of the great Mustang fighter planes, these spinning blades give the illusion of flight. The chrome-plated ABS blades start to spin when the bike reaches about 25 mph. Choose either a pointed center cap or a Zombie center cap to add an additional cool factor to your bike. |

Probably a safety issue, so they shred off if you go down or run somebody over. I'd reckon you could make your own pretty cheaply. You going to fit razors to the bar-ends too? & a nice ramming spike just under the headlight. |

Actually grumpy, I was thinking about some lever-activated, spring loaded bowie knives on hinges for the bar ends, and a CO2 powered blowgun under the headlights rigged up to the horn switch. ~SM |

Yeah that'd work, be better with stiletto blades coming out the bar-ends though, just in case you forgot to lift your fingers. Personally I'd have mounted the blowgun under the seat facing backwards, or is that where you're going to mount the caltrop dispenser? |

Lots of uses for razor arrow heads. Small air cannon pointed rearwards loaded up with snack-pac chocolate pudding (note: pudding not the can). Lots of other nasty things can be done, I won't mention them for fear of someone actually doing them. |
