No, the front wheel bearings on VT onwards are sealed with no cap.

When you fit a VT front brake kit to a VH, the adaptor you are using uses VH bearings with a VH grease cap. The units I have used did, anyway.

Hi Guys.

Small mistake there. All front wheel bearings from VR !! onwards are sealed with no grease cap.

Hi Mr Sle.

No, what I'm saying is that you use both the bearings & the grease cap off the VH hubs.

I was under the assumption that you thought you needed VT grease caps to go with your VT brake conversion. There are no VT grease caps, you use the ex
