I don't know the real name for it- I just call it a headset cap. Yep, you can replace it. My MTB has one that says "Pedal faster, fool!"
Check on Ebay for all sorts of interesting caps.

On my mountain bike there is a circle on top of the headset. It screws down, mine says Scott but I want a purple one. Can I replace just this piece or it it part of the headset? I keep bruising myself on it from dismounting improperly, I want a bruise colored one to go with my purple lock on grips I am ordering. lol.
I can take a picture tonight if that was as clear as mud.

Sweet. I wish I could get a purple one that says "OUCH!". That would be funny. Off to check out what I can find to customize Tess. She is a cheap Craiglist find and I really want to make her a little more fun looking.

My DBF gave me a few of these for my birthday - colors and quotes to match some of my bikes. They're really nicely done, and the company was great to work with. My problem is finding compression plugs that these headset caps work with. I took apart my Bianchi 928 and haven't been able to get the compression plug to 'take' yet...

I am not going to wait for Santa. I think I will get one that says either "OUCH" or my mom's favorite "Can't Never Could". And lookie I can get matching lock on grips and bar ends.
I really wish I could have Can't Never Could for my Cannondale but I think it won't take these. Darn.

We've used Purly Custom for our shop's custom engraved headset caps. They do come out very clear.

What exactly are you bruising???
FB- Ugh. I somehow keep hitting my midsection. Usually it is on a climb when I can't make it and bail out sloppy. I hit a little below the belly button on the soft squishy "pooch" area. And I bruise if you look at me wrong so I am not even hitting hard. I should also mention I am incredibly clumsy so I pretty much bruise 5-6 different places each time I mountain bike.
