Angry ***** shiny chrome wheel exchange

Folks, I'm usually positive and polite in my posts, however---

I am looking for opinions of this product, or suggestions for alternative sources. Stock tri glide ultra aluminum wheels suck. They corrode rapidly, and are hell to clean. Add this to your list for flaws in the trike I love so much.

My rears are being installed today. Joe is a great guy to work with and the wheels looked beautiful right out of the box. They are even polished on the inside. More later.

Mike had them installed yesterday, they are absolutely georgeous. One of the baby moons had some pits in it. I called Joe and he shipped another one out yesterday Priority mail. Can't beat his service.

I've been on his list for a couple weeks now and when the next batch comes in, I'm in line for getting a set. I've already got the baby moons and wheel spacers.

When I pull the rear wheels to replace them, I'm also going to pull the rotors and send them off to Paul, at Lydall Racing Brakes for drilling. We'll soon see what that does, if anything, to improve the braking.

Get'r done in one fell swoop...

I want to wait until I have both of the baby moons installed. I've got to re- torque the bolts in a couple of hundred miles anyways. I'll be shooting another signature photo after it's finished. There's a photo of them installed on Butch's bike (SEAlaskan), on his sig photo.

Two things.
1: Why do you need wheel spacers if what you are buying are chromed TG rims??
2: What are you paying for them??
