PLEASE CHECK PART NUMBER BEFORE PURCHASE
The genuine Royal Enfield 145446/A – COVER is a small rubber finishing cap / dust cover used on the Classic 500 – BSIII (UCE). In the factory microfiche it appears under the Classic 500 BSIII parts group and is supplied per piece. Being OE, the material hardness and inner/outer diameters are exact, so it press-fits firmly and stays put—preventing dust, water and light corrosion on exposed posts or recesses while also giving a neat, finished look.
Where it’s used (how to identify on your bike)
This “COVER” part number is a generic rubber cap that Royal Enfield deploys in more than one sub-assembly on the Classic 500 BSIII. Typical fiche placements for this style of cap are:
-
On exposed studs or tube ends to tidy the finish
-
As a protective plug on small brackets or frame tabs
-
As a cosmetic cap over hardware that is visible on the motorcycle
Exact location varies by variant. To pinpoint your bike’s usage, open the Classic 500 BSIII parts diagrams and search for 145446/A; or send us your VIN and we’ll call out the exact diagram position before dispatch. That keeps returns to near zero.
Why OE matters
Aftermarket “universal” caps look similar but rarely match the durometer (rubber hardness) and dimensions, which leads to loose fits, rattling, or caps falling off. This OE part restores the factory seal and look in seconds.

FAQs
Q1. How many pieces do I need?
It’s sold per piece. The fiche quantity can vary by variant; check your VIN or ask us and we’ll confirm the count for your bike.
Q2. Will it fit my Classic 350 UCE or Classic 350 Reborn (J-Series)?
Not fiche-confirmed. This listing is Classic 500 BSIII only. Send VIN if you want us to check other bikes.
Q3. Any install tips?
Clean the stud/tube end with IPA, let it dry, then press the cap on fully. If the post has light rust, polish it off first for best retention.
Q4. Is this a grommet?
No—this part is a cap/cover that sits over a post or recess. (Grommets sit inside a hole.)
