Description
Add a touch of 1950s racing heritage to your daily ride with the Motone Ballista Brass Valve Caps—precision-forged accessories that transform your wheels from ordinary to extraordinary in seconds.
Key Features
The Motone Ballista valve stem caps are crafted using the same traditional hot-forging techniques that Michelin employed during motorsport’s golden era. This isn’t just decoration—it’s functional artistry that protects your valve stems while delivering unmatched vintage appeal.
Hot-Forged Solid Brass Construction: Unlike stamped or cast alternatives, hot forging compresses the brass grain structure, resulting in superior corrosion resistance and a finish that develops a distinguished patina over time. Your caps will look better with every kilometer.
Universal Compatibility: Engineered with standard Schrader valve threading, these caps fit virtually any motorcycle, café racer, scrambler, bobber, or classic car. Whether you’re riding a Triumph Bonneville, Royal Enfield, or Honda CB, installation takes seconds—simply thread onto your existing valve stems.
Polished Brass Finish: The warm golden luster creates an elegant accent against both chrome and blacked-out wheels, complementing any build style from pristine restorations to custom street trackers.

Installation Guide
Step 1 – Prepare: Clean any dirt, dust, or grease from around the valve stem area to ensure a proper seal and prevent debris from entering the valve.
Step 2 – Install: Thread the Ballista cap clockwise onto the valve stem until snug. Avoid over-tightening to preserve the threads for easy future removal.
Step 3 – Verify: Gently check the cap is secure and won’t vibrate loose during your commute. A properly installed cap should remain firmly seated even on rough roads.
Care Instructions
Wipe periodically with a soft cloth to maintain the polished brass shine. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For a natural aged patina look, simply let the brass develop character over time. Check cap tightness after long rides or when traveling on rough terrain.
