Saw these on Thingiverse and thought I would share.

Left and right wheel spinners for Honda 125 wheels. The author states they 'might' work for CT90 wheels. I guess anything can be made to work with a little ingenuity. There are also some for the pit bike wheel floating around.

For those who don't know what 'Thingiverse' is, it is a repository of 3D printable models. So If you want some and you haven't the foggiest idea about 3D printing, you might want to try and befriend a local tech-geek.

The original source of this info was on the GB Cyclekarts group - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=7408313915886721
This is the version for the pit bike wheels.

The author said they will upload the design once they are happy with it.

I have the STL file for the knock offs I drew up and printed a while back if anyone's interested. Not as cool as the ones Mick showed.
I haven't worked out how to fix them to the fron hubs yet so they spin

They look great. I've added STL's to the allowed file types so you should now be able to attach them to your reply.

I was originally looking at the aftermarket spinners that you get for VW wheels. They have an adaptor that mounts to the wheel that the spinners screw on to. It's like an aluminium tube with a threaded end for the spinner and grub screws at the other end to mount into the wheel center. Maybe using a similar method of mounting the spinners on some PVC or aluminium tube might work?

I have attached the STL file for the Knock Off centre cap that printed for the rear wheels on my MG.
Just use your slicing sofware to scale them to the size you would like.
I've worked out a way that should work for the front wheels. I'll draw it up, print it and post it up if I can get it right.

That's awesome! Thank you.

Will have a go at printing a set when I get a spare minute (or two )
