Small change to the trike

[Freebird]

Made a little modification today.  I like it but haven't tried it out yet.  Anybody spot the change?

I see a few after market Items on there.

The trim on the front fender?

My side cover is black.

The plastic on the bottom of the fairing looks larger than mine.

No, now I see it, The front wheel. What do I win?

Very nice!

You got it.  I actually did add the front fender rail a while back but installed the wheel and new tire yesterday.   Love the look but don’t know yet about the ride and handling.   I’m optimistic though. Chromed Stratoliner wheel.  Decided to leave the pie plates off.  Can always put them back on later if I decide to.

Looks great Don, I've been wanting to put a Strat wheel on both bikes, I think they improve the looks of the rsv.

[Freebird]

Yes, I think that even the regular Strat wheel looks great.  These chrome ones are harder to find.

That looks great and I am curious about the ride and handling

so a dummy question  here, is the stratoliner rim smaller?  🤔

Stratoliner is an 18" wheel with a 130 tire that's a direct bolt on to the Ventures.  Upgrades the looks with the bigger front wheel, lightens the steering with the 130 (vs 150 stock) width front tire.

 

If you get REALLY lucky and find the chrome Stratoliner rotors they're full-floaters vs our solid disk on the Venture.

Very nice Don

@BratmanXj,  I’m not very familiar with the full floating discs   What are the advantages?

The braking ring is supported by rivets with a light metal (typically aluminum) inner mounting ring.  They're slightly lighter, not that it maters on our big o'l bikes.   They dissipate heat a little bit better and since they float your less likely to have pad chatter.

Biggest thing....they're chrome an match the "lighter" look of the bigger wheel with more open space than the stock rotors.
