willy shiny chrome wheel exchange

Nah, un-polished, pad scuffed rotors have a working man look to them and are a compliment to the chrome. Sorta like honest holster wear on a nice pistol.

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...

On drilling the rear brake rotors, I'm kinda waiting on Joe at ***** Shiney to send me a set of his chrome rims before I pull everything apart. I thought I would have gotten the call from WS last week, but apparently they must not have come back from the platers yet.
Anyway, I'll post my findings on the brakes once the deed is done.

Well I have nothing to report on the rear brake modification as I've been distracted and haven't sent the rotors out yet. But I did get all the ***** Shiny stuff including the baby moons and front wheel spacers with the wheels. Thought I would revive this thread and post a couple pictures. I call this my "Dead Sled" for reasons that will become obvious . Anyway...

TK,
The bike looks great. I've got to wait to do my front until I can get all the parts. I want install chrome lowers, cowbells and the Progressive Monotube cartridges in the forks at the same time I install Joe's front wheel. I do not want to have to do the job twice. At least I can see how she'll look when done. Very Very nice!!

Hey Butch it was pictures of your TG with WS baby moons, wheels and wheel spacers that made me decide to drop the dime. No regrets.
Buddy, I originally was going to hold off mounting the rear wheels till after I got my rotors back, but anticipation got the best of me so now the rotors will have to wait.
Thanks guys!
