Am I the only one who replaces these?

they only come off when they get smashed by a rock.

I'd replace a dented one too

My prairie 400 has rubber hub covers. Not sure if they would fit newer machines.

Or one could go with the Rolls Royce center spinning cap. Should be a cheap mod.

My Praire 300 had the rubber ones also, I found a dab of goop kept them in place after loosing a couple. Same on the wifes Bear Tracker.

I went in to pick it up while I was in Salt Lake Thursday and they ordered me a black one. LOL

Glad I'll be there again next week.

I'm almost embarrassed to ride it missing one hubcap.

Don't feel bad. When I got back to Copperbelt Cabin the guys said my rear rack was sagging. Rattled a couple bolts loose. Glad Tugs gas station had nuts and bolts. When I got home I found that the sub-frame under the rear rack had broken one bolt and rattled the other one out so it wasn't bolted to the main frame. Should be set for another 2500 miles or so.

Now I had to look up how much replacements for mine would cost. Fortunately I just have the stock wheels and the rubber replacements only cost $1.66 each from Rocky Mountain Atv. Haven't lost one yet but now its something I will definitely keep on the lookout for. I remember my Grizzly 660 had the same type and I think it had a flange that fit under the wheel. So it was pretty hard to lose one unless you took a wheel off and lost it then. It not only that they look bad without them but they're there to keep dirt and water from getting into your wheel bearings so they actually have a purpose.
