What is a pike nut axle cover and when should I use one?

A pike nut threads over the standard axle nut and adds a pointed profile referencing 1950s and 1960s American custom hardware. It is a common detail choice on choppers and bobbers where the axle is exposed. If the build runs a cleaner, minimal aesthetic, the smooth axle cover is the better fit. Both mount identically.

How do I find the right axle nut kit for my Harley-Davidson?

Colony kits are listed by platform and year range. Softail, Sportster, Dyna, FXR, and FL/FLT models each use different axle hardware, and specs change across production years. Front and rear kits are ordered separately. Confirm both the platform and year against the product listing before ordering.

Do I need to order front and rear axle hardware separately?

Yes. Front and rear axle hardware use different thread sizes, spacer dimensions, and nut profiles. Order a front kit and a rear kit separately for a complete refresh on both ends of the bike.

Are Colony axle hardware kits made in the USA?

Yes. Colony Machine has been producing USA-made motorcycle hardware for Harley-Davidson platforms for more than 40 years. All Colony axle nut kits, spacer kits, and pike nut covers in this collection are manufactured domestically in chrome, CAD plated, and parkerized finishes.

MOTORCYCLE AXLE HARDWARE KITS FOR HARLEY-DAVIDSON AND TRIUMPH

The axle nut sits directly next to the wheel on both ends of the bike. On a build where everything else has been addressed, a stock nut or a mismatched finish reads immediately. This collection covers Colony Machine USA-made front and rear axle nut kits, spacer kits, pike nut covers, and spring clips across Harley-Davidson platforms, alongside Lowbrow Customs chrome spindle nuts for Triumph 500 and 650.

WHAT'S IN THE COLLECTION

Colony axle hardware is platform and year-specific. Front and rear applications use different hardware and are ordered separately. Each kit includes the correct nut, washer, and spacer combination for the application in chrome or CAD plated finish:

Axle Nut Kits: Platform-specific kits for Sportster, Softail, Dyna, Wide Glide, FXR, and FL/FLT covering most production years. Each kit includes the correct nut, washer, and spacer for the axle spec of that platform. CAD plated matches original OEM hardware for restorations. Chrome is the choice when the axle area is visible and the rest of the build runs polished hardware.
Pike Nut Axle Covers: Pike nuts thread over the standard axle nut and add a pointed profile referencing 1950s and 60s American custom hardware. A common detail choice on choppers and bobbers where the axle is exposed. Colony also makes smooth axle covers for builds where a flush, minimal finish suits the direction better. Both mount identically on the same thread spec.
Axle Spacers and Spring Clips: Individual spacers in chrome and CAD plated for specific platforms where the full kit is not needed, and rear axle spring clip sets for 1991-up Big Twin and Sportster applications.

TRIUMPH SPINDLE NUTS

Lowbrow Customs produces chrome rear axle spindle nuts for Triumph 500 and 650 in thin and thick profiles, covering different OEM specs depending on model and year. Confirm which applies before ordering as the two are not interchangeable.
