Lost inside wheel cap cover

[JohnnyK]

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.

Me too. Just bought a used :ani29: and they were already gone.

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.

Got mine in and under warranty... Use black RV silicone... ain't coming off now...

This sounds like a great opprotunity for one of our vendors to release a nice farkle we cannot live without......

Lamonster has done just that see :-

Not a clue

I have got to say that when I started reading this, I didn't have a clue what evryone was talking about. The next day I washed my Spyder and did some checking. Now I know and they are still on board.:yes:

After reading this thread late Saturday I checked my two caps and they both were too loose for my liking. I picked up some RTV silicone after yesterday's ride and put a very small dab on each of the three clips on each cap. Today I am satisfied that the caps aren't going anywhere without a concerted effort to remove them.

Very interesting thread...

Went to the garage and inspected the inner front hub coverings on my F3-S. (Upgraded version.) By smushing them, discovered they are the same plastic consistency as a Icee domed lid. Very easy to flick off.

Then went and looked at the inner front hub coverings of my '09 Phantom. (The for-runner to the RS-S.) It is billet aluminum, with an allen screw to hold it on.

Where did something go wrong...:dontknow:

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. :cus:

Same here. I was told it was not really needed.

I think it happens pretty regular. I looked at 2015 RTS and its missing the left one. Don't even know if it was there when I purchased it or not but it sure is gone now.:yikes:

Both of mine were gone---- not really sure if they were ever there? Only 2000 mi. Just purchased the billet cap from Lamonster. will put them on like you build a boat---- glued and screwed.
