Hi Mike,
The wheel spacers are for the chromed front wheel that I'm getting as part of the set. They replace the plain pipe wheel spacers that come stock.

***** Shiney Wheel Spacers

They were about $90 I believe.

I'm going in a different direction when I do my front. I'll machine my own spacers stock style out of stainless. Diamond engineeering 12 point polished rotor bolts, 12 point polished front caliper bolts, 12 point polished banjo bolts, stainless coated front brake lines and a Diamond polished stainless front axle. Of course with a ***** Shiney chromed front wheel and lowers. I promised my wife that then I'll be done except for the oil cooler upgrade.

Yeah Right!!

 

Mike, the cheepest solution is to have the stock wheels chromed. I did mine and love the results.

Thanks for your reply. I am going with your reccomendation. When I bought the trike last year, I added every bell and whistle in the book. This included the fancy nut covers for the rear wheels, which I would like to keep. You don't know of any problem with this, do you?

Since then I have done some stuff myself, including jackpot 2-1-2 headers, PCV, Autotune, and 2.25" Rush baffles. Topped it off with a low end map from Keith at Fuelmoto. I left the USB connected, so all I have to do is pop the RH cover. I plan to install a switch and a high end map, as well. The trike sounds like rolling thunder. I never turn my audio stuff on because I like to listen to the growl of the beast.

Who did you buy the 10 blade fanned oil cooler from?

Best

Mike

 

who would anyone recommend for chroming the wheels?

Casper,
I'd check with Jim and see how that company worked it out. If they did an exchange then that's an excellent price. If Jim had to send his own wheels in which I think he did, that's another story. Are you prepared to be up on jacks for maybe two to three weeks? My ***** Shiney's arrived on Wednesday and were on the bike by Friday. The cores were shipped back yesterday. I was only down 1/2 a day to have the tires remounted and to balance the wheels.

 

Thanks OM

If you chrome the front wheel, don't you need to install chrome rotors, etc...otherwise, you will not necessarily get the full chrome affect...IMHO.

 

Or chrome rotor covers
