Description
To accommodate 2023 KTMs without complicating the Bar Riser kits, the plain top caps now have their own part number.
Why? C3 Powersports Bar Risers use 38mm (½") bolt spacing, same as the stock setup on KTM, Husky, GASGAS, and Beta. But, the bolt spacing on some other models is 40mm, so you can't use your stock top caps.
There is one more consideration: If you're getting C3 FORCEFIELD NXT Handguards (C3's Top Clamp is included), or the Top Clamps on their own, then you won't need the Plain Top Caps on this page.

YES, I'm getting C3 Powersports Handguards (or Top Clamp) |
You definitely don't need these Plain Caps | You definitely don't need these Plain Caps |
| NO, I'm not getting C3 Powersports Handguards (or Top Clamp) | You don't NEED these plain caps, but you can get them if you want the polished, matching look (although they're probably under your bar pad anyways) | You definitely DO need these Plain Caps |
- CABA1522 - Plain Top Caps (Black) + Bolts - As explained above, required for Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki, for example CRF450R, YZ450F, KX450, etc, who are NOT getting C3 handguards. Bolts included.
- Dealer part number comment: Previously, having these included in a Risers assembly was achieved by changing the first digits of the part number from CABA124 to CABA137. Ex: Mid height Black CABA1243BLK = no plain top caps, and CABA1373BLK = with plain top caps (for Yamaha, Honda, Kawi riders without C3 handguards). Now, you'd get CABA1243BLK and CABA1522.
These are added to the cart along with Bar Risers, typically you don't get them on their own.
