I have just finished making and will be sending them to the platers tomorrow some Spiked front wheel Axle Covers. The picture below is similar to them (they will look better than the crappy pic!!) except that the spike is hexagonal not round. Not sure of price yet but if your interested just send me a PM and I will let you know when I work it out. I can also custom make something if you have a design in mind just let me know... Thanks. Stew.

I'm liking the spikes! I'll have to keep these in mind.
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

Very Gladiator looking. How about some of the double, long swords they had on the chariots? That would keep idiots from getting to close while riding. 
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Looks good Stew... you'll have to bring your prototype along to the Mater run tomorrow so I can check it out. Speaking of which whill SMS you (and the others) later today when I figure out where to meet. I'm chucking a sickie tonight so I should be fresh tomorrow. Hoorah!

I like them also. Might add the proper amount of Road Warrior-ism to my bike. Keep us in the loop!

There has been a bit of a hiccup in the chroming process so will not have any more of the Axle Covers until after xmas. But I do have one pair left if anyone is interested. Also have a couple of the ball milled covers left. If your interested please send me a PM and I can tell you more.

Hey Stew, Just wanted to give you a shout out about your axle spikes. Installed them today. The quality and workmanship are outstanding and the retention system you devised is brilliant! VERY nice work mate!! Oh yeah, thanks also for the Australian flag stickers. Here's a couple of pix of them installed:

I bought mine straight up from Stewart so I would suspect they are. Very nice work, btw...

They do not appear to be on the SRS website. Lots of axle covers but no spiked.
