While these GYT-R Billet hubs may not make your Raptor any faster, they sure will make it stand out in a crowd. The GYT-R hubs come complete with bearing and seals already installed. I didn't break out the micro scale to weigh them but there was no noticeable difference in weight between the stock hub and the new GYT-R hubs.

Shiny New GYT-R billet hubs and caps

First step is to put the front end up on a stand and remove the wheel.

Remove the spindle nut and the two bolts holding the caliper. Then slip of the old hub.

You need to remove this spacer from the front and rear for reuse in the new hubs.

You will need put the hub in a vice or somehow mount it securely to remove the allen bolts holding the rotor on.

After the rotor is reinstalled using lock tight then your ready to install you new hub.

Reinstall your caliper, torque the hub on, then install the cap with very small Allen head set screws.

New hub with wheel installed.

The installation goes very quickly and did not take more than an hour. Make sure you have some lock tight when reinstalling the bolts. A set of Allen wrenches and a torque wrench would be the only special tools you will need.

Summary At around $280, these are not cheap but they sure do look nice. You can pick them up at any Yamaha dealer, and they go very well with all the other GYT-R billet goodies.
