Description
SHOVEL RESEARCH is a small machining factory run by Portland-based SAL that produces well-designed products to meet niche demands in the motorcycle industry.
Rams FP1-inspired ribbed top cap
The design is inspired by the ribbed aluminum used in Rams' film projector, the FP 1. It adds functional beauty and architectural presence to the area around the stem, like cooling fins.
We recommend installing it so that the ribs are parallel to the top tube. This gives it a very aerodynamic look.
