I had the Adjure flush axle.
Looked great but be forewarned it is a BITCH to get the cap that is pulled into the fork off the lower fork itself if/when you go to remove the whole thing from your bike. I wouldn't do it again if you bought and gave me a flush mount axle. If your buddy realizes he just can't live without one and doesn't have chrome lowers but he may even remotely be thinking he wants them, tell him to do the chrome lowers at the same time he installs the flush axle or he's gonna commit suicide if he tries to get the cap out of the stock lowers when he does go to chrome lowers.

 

that's what I heard too

 

Yup, the flush mount axle is a royal pain in the rump to install.
But damn, it looks so good with the Bad As Hell axle cap!

Diamond Engineering is coming out with a polished stainless 12 point axle and since every bolt on my bike are that style, I may change to one.

 

Had the Adjure for about 2 weeks this spring. Install was a bitch, wheel install was a real scarey bitch. Felt like I was cross threading the thing because it was so tight. Forget trying to put a torque wrench on it for HD specs. My axle wasn't even close to being seated when it clicked the torque wrench off. Then, when I found I had a slow leak at the stem, and I had to take the wheel of again, the flush cap just spun in the fork. Yeah, I loaded the threads up with anti-seize. But when you have to over torque it to get the axle in, it's going to stick in the cap. We had to beat it out of there an into the garbage it went. Nice $100 into the trash. But axle caps for a lot less and you won't have to worry about it.

 

I have the FBI set and it looks great. I have not had to take it off yet though.

 

I went wif the black one from Fat Baggers. Like da rest it wuz a complete mothrfukr of an install. Altho my tire guy hasn't mentioned it being any trouble when changin up my Avons.

Just like BP says....it looks **** wif da BAH axle cap as a finishin touch.
