hi i think i have one of those for an 85 r kicking about, but i`m in the uk so postage might be a little strong, but if you`re struggling any where else give me a shout.

I got a foot peg and fork cap for you, you have 85 pegs right???, 85 and 86 are different. Is only the peg or the whole plate bent, as I have 85 peg plates also(nos).

For future references, just because "the classifieds wasn't getting much attention" is not a valid reason to make a classified elsewhere on the forum.

I just broke mine off at jawbone canyon last weel when I rolled a hill. I bought one from my dealer, the entire cap assembly with the valve and the black plastic top cap is about $65.00. They are still available from honda. Mine was spewing oil everywhere before I even noticed I broke it. Good luck...Dove.

Save your money and put the cap in a lathe or vise and drill press and drill out the old stem. Buy a pair of new metal/chrome stems from you local auto parts store or tire dealer and install it into the cap and your set. Do the same to the 2nd cap and you'll have a matching set for less than $5 and the $$$ left in your wallet can be used for something to make the trike go faster! Just another performance tip from Mr. Sandman.

Sanman, that makes so much sense I'm bummed I didn't think of it. I will have my suspension guy save my broken one. Sounds like you've done this before? Thanks for the tip.

I got a new set from ebay for about $30. I don't think they are oem but they do the trick. I still see them from time to time. Do a search.

Yep, been there done that, about 20 years ago and it still works great!
