#60617 aeropup (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 Removal of the front Hub/Rotor covers 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I am having my brake rotors polished on my 2006 Roady and I would like to remove the domed covers that are located in the center of the front brake rotors, The right side has a weight in it and I have no idea what it is purpose is. I have seen other Road Stars that have had these covers removed. Any help or comments are appreciated.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #60622 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13517 Re:Removal of the front Hub/Rotor covers 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   That weight is some kinda frequency quieter downer thingy. It's nothing you need on the bike if you take the pie plates off.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #60623 RoadstarB (User) Take off work and RIDE, You can work anytime. Gold Boarder Posts: 704 Re:Removal of the front Hub/Rotor covers 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   That's funny, I have the stock mag wheels on mine that have no rotor cover and have ordered some off e-bay to hopefully cover up the big black area of the center of the wheel. I don't believe they serve any purpose exept for looks, I did notice one has the wheight on one side and the other does not, but you should not have any problems riding with them removed.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/01/28 19:34 By RoadstarB.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #60625 aeropup (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 Re:Removal of the front Hub/Rotor covers 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   My 2006 roady has spoked wheels.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #60668 erizo (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 652 Re:Removal of the front Hub/Rotor covers 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   that weight is needed! i took mine off and...... it sounded like a bloody bus slowing down! hideous squealing noises. chamfered the pads - still noisy coppaslip on the backs of the pads - still noisy gaffer tape on the back of the pads - still noisy changed the pads - still noisy changed the calipers for blue spot r1 calipers - still noisy repeat all the stuff above again with the pads - still noisy but i finally solved the problem - i put the pie dishes back on again   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #79316 takehikes (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 349 Re:Removal of the front Hub/Rotor covers 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   My )5 never had them. did notice my buddies 05 with wire wheels did have them.
