I wonder if a person could take some rubber hose and shim it behind those flanges to put some more tension on them? And then I wondered if they're falling off or getting stolen. These are not gentle times we live in...

This one fell off. Only had it on the road and in the garage that day. Took pictures of it when we left and noticed it when I got home that day. I am on another forum though where others have had issues with them falling off. One person said they put a small amount of glue on the flange to keep it in but I am a bit hesitant to do that. I can see me breaking the *&*# thing when it needs to come off!

And it will cost you that much to send it back after you find out it don't fit on a Freewheeler...Originally Posted by HDB0B
I was just being amazed at the price difference .... beings the TG is aluminum and the FLRT is plastic.
Several TG owners have used the FLRT center caps for a different look ... so I thought they were the same size center hole?????

The stock hub cap for a freewheeler is $110.00 Canadian but if you look in the accessory book from Harley a set of 2 wheel covers (part no. 83841-09) which are better looking are only $41.95 American. Just does not make sense
I'm waiting for the after market to make a baby moon for the FW.
(I know, I'm not holding my breath.)

You should call them (they are not big on e-mails or web site updates LOL) if interested.

Bob, thanx for the link - another item for the wish list...
Did wheels have to come off to remove center caps
You're asking about the stock Freewheeler cap? The wheel doesn't need to come off. Look at the pic in post #5 - the cap on the right. At 11 o'clock you can see the notch where a screwdriver will pop the cap off...
Thanks for the info
Cheap caps, I lost one, Warranty covered it

I know this is an old thread....but wondering if anyone has found a "hack" to make the FreeWheeler center caps less likely to pop off? I saw someone said glue...don't like that idea. Anyone? Thanks....jc
Duct tape on the inside prongs

Jack...Talking about around the "Shaft" to stiffen or around the edge for more grip? That doesn't sound right....but I think ya know what I mean! lolDuct tape on the inside prongs
Yep, the center shaft that goes in the center hole of the wheel?

For what it's worth. I put several strips of anti slip (graphite) tape on every other plastic flange/prongs (?) that goes into the hub

Are you talking about the Sandpaper type tape they put on the edge of stairs? Thanks
Yes. Just a narrow 1/4" wide strip, curl over the end and approximately the lenght of the prong ( play it by ear). It gives it a tight fit and of course adds friction
