TBH Adam, if you could be bothered to put some of these together, I'd buy one...

You'd buy anything!!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

I've got a trd one and it looks cool, except the screw thread it such that when on tight the logo ends up upside down!   s:evil: :evil: s:evil:  

The only other problem is that no one will get to see it - apart from at shows, and even then they will have to look hard, as it's covered by the rear brace!!!   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Guilty  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

Alternatively Adam, could you supply the oil cap and J-Spec badge seperately (there would be no issues with the logo being the wrong way up then)?

Ahh, there is a trick to it - it depends on how you put it on. Start with the logo facing you, but ever so slightly to the right, then gently twist and by the time its done up properly, it will be pretty much dead on.

you stood there and worked that out didn't ya!!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  
I was just too impatient and wanted to see how it looked, and bunged it on without thinking of potential screw position issues...   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

If you don't feel lucky and it goes upside down, just start opening it while pressing down gently. Once it's fully open and you feel it drop out of the threads, close it and it will end up being closed in "next" position.
