    Went for a ride and that dam plastic hub cap took a dump, chain side hub missing. Does the other side have a hub cap too? What gives , I bet Honda charges plenty for them-is there a aftermarket hub cap that would fit?

    Maybe they got knocked loose from falling over again. And again. And again... You should just leave it off. it makes your bike lighter.

    No the hub cap fell off after I dropped it, I put wheel in air with broom handle then oil chain, then put hub cap back on-I tested it too by turning it to make sure it was on maybe it wasn't or just the tabs wear out. Where do I get a cheap replacement it looks like shit-I need both.

    I took mine off the day I bought my bike, it looks cheesy anyway.

    That hub cap keeps water out-it looks better with cap on-how come I can't find one except a Honda cap?

    Plastic cap should be around $8 at your local dealer. I bought one for my bike when I was restoring it but took right back off because it looks cheesy.

    only the left side has a cap, its cheap, just buy a new one. There are companies, such as Thurn, that make a cap for the right side, not cheap though
