Abstract:
1. A hub adapter for shaft driven motorcycles comprising: A) housing means having a substantially hemispheric shape with first and second sides, said first side having a substantially convex shape with a round flattened and raised radial end to which a rim assembly is mounted and a central through opening extending perpendicularly from said round flattened and raised radial end having cooperative dimensions to receive an axle therethrough, an annular flattened and stepped area is adjacent to said round flattened and raised radial end, said second side being opposite to said first side and said second side including a peripheral circular axial edge with a peripheral circular wall perpendicularly extending from said second side a first predetermined distance from said peripheral circular edge, defining a first annular radial surface in between, a second annular radial surface is adjacent and interior to said peripheral circular axial wall, a third annular radial surface is stepped from said second annular surface and positioned at a plane that is parallel and spaced apart from the plane of said second annular surface a second predetermined distance, a peripheral axial skirt perpendicularly and outwardly extending from said third annular radial surface, and said first annular radial surface including a plurality of threaded openings cooperatively positioned to receive the fastening means of a brake disk rotor assembly, said second annular radial surface including a first plurality of holes and a corresponding first plurality of first fastening means cooperatively housed therein and said first fastening means being removably mounted to a driven flange assembly, said third annular radial surface including a second plurality of through holes and a corresponding second plurality of second fastening means cooperatively receivable within said second plurality of through holes, said second fastening means removably mounted to a rim assembly so that said brake disk rotor assembly is kept at the farthest possible distance from said rim assembly to minimize the visual obstruction of the latter.
