1987 Honda Big Red hub caps

[HoldMyBeer]

Curious. Has anyone seen any 250ES rear hub caps out there for sale anywhere? Haven’t had any luck on eBay and even a rough time google searching. Looking for the rubber caps to cover the castle nut on the rear of my 87 model.

I don't ever recall seeing ones on one before, always missing. The caps are the same as ones used on some 4 wheelers. My 95 Foreman 400 has ones that are direct fit.

Based on the part diagram, there was no cap over the axle nuts from the factory.

Based on Dave's post above, you could buy the center caps if you want them. The machine he listed has them in production yet. You might need the axle nuts for that machine if it's the same size to fit the cap correctly.

Some of the smaller Honda 3 wheelers had the center caps, like the ATC90 K0 (US90) had them, not sure if any other models did, I don't recall seeing any others off the top of my head.

Here's another possible option, but I'm not sure if they would fit, pretty sure the axle nuts are smaller, but the caps are cheaper. They are a harder plastic instead of rubber. I think the axle nuts were 17mm.

I looked at mine and a different big red and the center holes on mine where smaller, so they might not be the original rear rims, they might be front rims that got put on.
