HD PN #83841-09.....has anyone bought and/or put them on the rear wheels?
Yes Barb, I have them on my TG and they look great but a Boon said, they are a pain to install because you have to remove the rear wheel to take off the stock center cap!

Here’s a picture:
Info on internet says they're a 'snap' to put on...kind of like hub caps....doesn't say anything about taking off the rear wheels.... guess I'll pass.

Barb, that’s correct, the new hub’s do just snap on but first you have to remove the stock center caps and in order to do that you have to remove the rear wheel!
I was going buy them also. Thought they were snap on. But when I read you gotta take the wheels off. To remove the center cap. Was not in the mood so I decided to pass on them. If I decide to rotate the tires then Ill buy them.

Isn’t this forum great!
Yep, once you get the wheels off, then you have to break loose the Harley locktite on the hex bolt that retains the hub. Then the hub begins turning once the bolt is loose. There is no way to grab that hub unless you have very large slip-joint pliers. I didn't so I had to jam a wood shim between hub and wheel to keep it from turning.
So now when I look at my rear wheels I say "Damn, they look good!" just to justify the labor I put into it.
