Does anyone know if the lower steering stem bushing dust cap is available anymore?

whats up? u cant find one? all it does is seal the lowest point.

Ya, it's probably not vital that I have it but it does give added protection.

You should be able to get every part you need to replace all bushings o rings and seals from Honda east website. They also have diagrams with part numbers so you can be certain that your ordering the correct part. The upper seem bushing is a pretty critical thing to replace if you have any play in your steer stem. I ordered everything I needed from my local shop but like I said Honda east Toledo would have everything as well.

its been a while but i did the top and bottom in no time flat. i dont remember needing o rings or seals.  there is a perminent seal inside the large lower washer thingy.

make sure the 2nd little lower washer goes in the correct place. check the parts diagram.
