is this center cap needed? I got a RAM mount for it but want to know if it will harm anything if I take it off.

This is how my ram mount is attached.

Sharp bike - Who makes the windscreen? I can't make out the logo...Taller than stock, right? You like it?

Uh...yeah. It sandwiches the triple tree plate between the nut below the plate...You NEED something there.

Just taking it off will not hurt anything if you are going to replace it with another fastener before you ride it again...Is that what you're asking?

yes. do you know what size nut I would need to replace it with so I can uze the hole there for the phone mount?

I don't...did a quick Google search and only info on socket/wrench size for it. Doesn't seem that anyone lists the thread pitch...and it's a problem of semantics because the word 'thread' is so common on forums.

Keep in mind that MANY Suzuki bikes use the same cap nut so it may be worth the gamble to order one for a more common bike of the same vintage (like a GSXR) if you come across one. If it doesn't fit...you can always send it back.

I found this thread, it lists the thread pitch but cant seen to find a nut that matches.

I don't know...I have an 1100 with GSXR forks...

Why not follow this guy's lead & just mod your existing nut?
