    Default Lost inside wheel cap cover

    Did about a 800 mile trip this last weekend and while driving I noticed that I had lost a inside wheel cap cover part # 70540110. When I got home I notice the other one was missing... this is on the front 2 wheels... Anyone else found these missing? Dealer is going to replace....may put a little RV silicone on the new ones to hold them in place.

    Some one else mentioned that theirs had come loose a while ago and so I had mine silicon-ed by the dealer before I could loose them

    Lost one of mine when a Jack Rabbit decided he wanted a closer look at the suspension. I was able to find the lost cover. Several of the ears on the back of the cover are now missing. I don't think it will stay on for very long. I plan on adding some silicon to the back to keep it in place. But I have to remember it needs to be reinstalled. Now what was I talking about?

    Default Inner axle cover

    I see a lot of missing inner axle covers. A LOT! Like almost every bike is shy one, or both! Horrible design. I need to fix that. Hmmmmm

    Default Covers

    I had to replace two of mine and finally put silicone on all four covers. No problems since.

    One of mine didn't even last the ride home from the dealer when purchased new. So, I never even got the chance to silicon it on.

    Dumb design and an even poorer build quality.

    Anyone know if the billet cover for the RS fits the 2014RT? Now that would be a great upgrade....

    Default Never Knew there were "inside" caps

    Read this whole thread and had no idea what you folks were talking about till I went out to the garage and looked on the inside of the front wheels and "lo and behold" there was a
    black cap, similar to those on the rear axles, and when I barely touched it, it fell off! Both caps have been reinstalled with RTV on the nubs.

    Thanks Bgame for starting this thread.

    Well, you all have aroused my curiosity, so I went out to the garage and looked for mine, nothing there, just nuts and cotter pins. I had no idea they were even there. They are gone now.

    So that's what that black cap was for that was in the glove box when my Spyder was delivered! I'll bet the guy I bought it from found it on the floor, had no idea what it was, and just stuck it into the glove box! Now, all I have to do is find it in my messy garage!!!!

    Ted, (ULflyer) called me this morning and said he was at the Winston-Salem BRP dealership and inquired about new caps. They didn't have any in stock and he asked if I wanted him to order a set for me. They are $5 and change plus tax. I said yes.
    That's how Spyder Lovers look out for each other. Thanks Ted.

    I believe these caps are for 2013+ models only. I could not find them on the parts diagrams for earlier years.

    I have looked and could not find them either. I first noticed them missing as I was leaving a dealership after some work. I turned around and went back. The dealer didn't know what I was talking about and none of the Spyders in his show room had them either. It just feels too exposed without a cap installed.

    I just removed mine. They were loose and came off with very little effort. I'm surprised they were still there. I'll deal with it tomorrow after a trip to the hardware store to get some silicone sealer.
