@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. 🤣

Anyone have any tips on how to remove the caps (blank plugs) on the base r18 in preparation for the OEM windscreen?

Just lightly pry up an edge and pop them out.
