It would be interesting to find out details about these style Hubcaps. I have used them on bikes before and have a few different sets hanging on the wall. Some appear to be stainless and some are chrome plated brass. They have different dimensions as far as the center circle on the non brake side? Did H-D offer these as an accessory? Any thoughts? 46el

They are all period aftermarket items. H-D never marketed one themselves. H-D did sell wheel trim rings but never full covers. Many different companies made them, and early publications have lots of ads showing them for sale. The various hole sizes are to fit different size brake drums such as Springer, Glide, and Indian types.

I dont know the company name but I have seen these for sale at Davenport and they are brand new ones. I can tell you they are a pain to take on and off. You can not get the front tire and wheel off with it in place. It has to come apart first.
