Front Hub Covers

[arcticXS]

90s Ducatis with a single front disc have a quite nice black plastic cover, held on with 3 bolts. It will fit perfectly on a Yamaha hub, with regards to bolt circle and hole diameter. Not sure about the OD, but it will be close. If building a new wheel, there are other Yamaha models with dedicated single disc hubs, like the XV535 Virago. And the RDs as well, although those may be smaller than XS hubs. At least IMHO, that is even sleeker looking than a nice "beauty cover" . And a bit lighter as well.

Hi Skull,
Can you confirm that only the screw threaded metal hub cover will only fit those particular years..? I’m currently hanging by a thread on eBay for one to fit my ‘77. I may have to stop bidding as it’s a fraction smaller and won’t fit right -like the plastic one does..

I’ve requested measurements and he’s sent me these lousy pictures

Hubs from 73-81 are the same. Don't see any reason why the early 74-76 covers won't fit the later years. TX750 hubs also interchange with the 650, their rotor blank is alloy.

Thanks mate.
I’ll bear that in mind closer to the end. However I have now found this genuine cover labelled for a xs1b/tx750. It’s a bit pricey so I may message the seller for sale providing I can get a guaranteed fit…

I believe that’s the same link I’ve just sent you. Passing ships in the night mate. Hardly surprising when you’re 10 hours ahead! Btw I am in the uk

Top man Skull, thanks for your prompt assistance mate. Have a good evening

I just used a flat piece of 3mm aluminium, mounted with stainless allen heads. The speedo drive is now gone, replaced with a stainlless spacer with pressed on aluminium dust cover.

That’s a good alternative. Thanks for chiming in bud.

Same as toglhot but I used stainless button head bolts.
