ATV hubcaps

[John Y Cannuck]

For a hunting machine, these things have to be the biggest rip off going.
I've lost both of mine and the F'n things can dang well stay off, they want about 17$ each for them, and they will fall off the first bit of mud you go through.
By the way, I got a copy of my ATV key today, they want $10 for the BLANK!
Guy ahead of me paid $27 for a Suzuki blank.
And you have to go to the locksmith to get a copy, because most regular places are afraid to cut it.
The local Home hardware guy did mine, (store policy, is they won't do it) on the agreement that there was no warranty, and no charge!

wow two wines and no cheese

if you think your key is expensive try 40$ for my outlander 800. its programed to the computer.

also why would you need camo hubcaps? can deer not see/hear an atv with these installed? honestly i think hunters push the camo thing a bit far.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

Not camo hubcaps dummy, the stupid little rubber dust cap POS they give you stock.
As to computer keys, the ones for my Jeep were $75 each the last time I checked, a few years ago.

 

[hedgehog]

mine have stayed on threw thick and thin. and yes for cars computer keys are a rip off

2006 Dodge Caravan with that f-ing transponder key. $120 bucks from the dealer!!!!!!! If I ever lose one, the other one is getting the teeth cut off of it, and I'll glue it behind the steering colum shroud next to the keyswitch and I'll use a plain cut key (It works...I've tried it )

rubber caps

What kind of quad are you riding???? over ten thousand kilometers on my 04 rubicon and all four rubber caps intact. I now have a new set of rims with the nice crome beauty caps so if your on a honda pm me and we can make a deal.

Mine is a Yamaha Big bear. Polaris caps fall off too. Found one on the trail last year, nothing wrong with it, just fell off. I gave it to a guy in camp who has one.
I think you might be safer if you have wide rims or tires to protect the damn things.

Screw the rubber caps John, you need these:

Strap a turdy tudry on her and your ready for anything Onterrible can throw at ya

I have never lost the covers off of any of my Hondas,but I was shocked when I found out the price of a laser cut key for my BMW motorcycle was over $100.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

All rip offs.
Oh well, I hope people are not offended by watching the cotter pin go around on my machine, cause I am not paying that for a rubber cap that will likely fall off anyway.
One of the guys says he puts his caps on before the wheel goes on. I'll have to look and see how the hell he did it.

John, not sure if you can do this to your machine. I have a Honda and a Yamaha and the Yamaha ones kept coming off so I put large metal hose clamps on the rubber cab. I have never had one come off since, clamps are under a dollar at a hardware store..

 

[John Y Cannuck]

I have considered that, but doing it would require that I buy more caps fromn those rip off artists, so, it ain't gonna happen.

 

[yodave]

keep watching ebay they come up every now and then, you might even see your missing ones up for grabs

 

[John Y Cannuck]

I think somewhere in the bush, a red squirrel has added them to his warren. I retraced by tracks, no show.

Well they don't really do anything anyway, except maybe clean up the looks of a new bike. Stick your atv in a mud hole & allow it to dry on the bike, you'll never notice a cap missing

Duct tape is much cheaper anyway! And it has more uses in the field!!!!!

You can get camo duct tape too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At first I spray painted all of them red before I put the clamps on so they were easy to find. I have found a extra one but it fits a Yamaha.
