@laennecr ... are you good now? ... sorry I didn't have a chance to run some last weekend, my cage (old Jeep Cherokee) is dying and I try to keep it alive as good as I can ....
 
ok, as promised. The Classic's hole is wider and is almost smooth inside, while the R18's has a small division, where the black plug rests.

Thank you very much for that pic!! .. Now I have to look through my box of 'spare' parts to see if I have a second set of caps .. mine was changed before I picked her up.

Not yet, still riding around with holes at the top of the forks. $129 seems high for what may not be the right part.

I would also like to see what you come up with. I also have a lathe so maybe a recess/groove for an o ring would hold them in place. I know they are cheap enough but any excuse to make something, right. 🤣
