Default Early Softail solid rear wheel hubcap?

Fitting a sprotor to my softie, need to shift that ugly disk to the left side, same as the front.

That means removing the disk from the right side, which will then show the horrible casting holes where the disk was. Does anyone know of a disk replacement or hubcap that will fill this space nicely? It will need a 2" hole I imagine.

Cheers

Steve

Not sure if this helps but my Harley front OEM star rim came set up for one or two brake rotors. It came with a cover if only one was used. Might see if dealer can get a cover that may work

Still not getting anywhere with this. The wheel is apparently a centreline spun aluminium solid disc wheel, 16 inch. I think a nice disc spacer, polished up with some shiny dome heads on the studs will look nice. Just need to find a spacer...the spacer needs to be about 2" id and 4" od.

Cheers

When I put a sprotor on mine with a stock wheel...this is what I used to cover the "ugly" side.

Or if that price too much you could use one of these.
