Just installed these today and noticed that there is around 4mm gap between hub and cover. I thought they would seat flush against hub! Anyone else installed these. Looks like this gap may be normal.

I have an aftermarket hub cover (non-Triumph). It does not sit flush either. Since they are new, you're very aware of them. Give it a week and you won't give them a second thought.

The gap is intentional so that you can tighten the hub cover properly without the edge of it marking the wheel.

Whatever the gap, I'm just glad there are products out there that allow us to run around without our nuts exposed.

Hi, well, its a little more tastier tonight as my rizoma reverse mirrors ,billet chainguard,bar ends,billet brake reservoir and oil cooler guard arrived today. Rizoma very quick with shipping. I put the mirrors , bar ends and chainguard on and will do the brake reservoir tomorrow! The brake reservoir is smaller than the original triumph so i am hoping this will have no adverse affect???
