1970 Commando special parts

On a 70 Commando there are some special parts e.g. the "halo" ring holding the headlamp.
It is fixed with two special nuts coveres with plastic caps on the lower front bridge.
As rare as hen´s teeth..
I found a suitable cap here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/161001353113...49&var=460164245261&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
When shortened a bit it looks almost like the original cap. Being a bit larger in the inner diameter it could be fixed on the nut with a dab of silicone or glue.

Nice find. My bike had a pair of originals until one day there was only one. I was thinking or turning down a couple sleeve nuts and it looks like you found the plastic cap.

I wonder where that design came from.

I have a spare pair of those white caps I'll sell to anyone who needs them
