Title: What is it called
Post by: CDNRatMan on August 22, 2013, 22:03:04 PM
  Never seen one yet on a Drifter but thought it might look good on a dark bike, just that hint of chrome, but cannot seem to find one on line because I can not find a name for it. Yes I tired but came up empty I have the part circled in yellow. I tried a number of words but nothing hit for me. so any help ..Thanks.

That's the front wheel you have circled, if I'm not mistaken Ratman...    8)

I believe your Sunbeam Red Drifter already has one.... ;D

That's an F&S accessory cover. Found it on eBay couple of years ago. It's for a classic with speedo drive, so I had to make my own spacer to mount it...no big deal. The same one should fit yours with no modification, since it has a hole for the speedo cable and a large diameter center with 3 set screws...er...grub screws...

  Thank you Sir Troll I'll keep looking. I think it just adds that something special to the front end.

more chrome to keep clean...but it covers the plain spoke hub. Had one of these on each of my wire wheel H-Ds...

CDNRatman... Heritage Hubcap... I bought one at a local cycle parts shop ($15.00) took a dremel to it to open the hole and epoxied it to the speedo... Easy Weezie... Nifty Thrifty!
