Just bought a Venom front from a local shop for $155 . May be a little far for you though.

Bob, it's not a cheap upgrade, but was well worth the $$$ in my opinion. How's your project coming along ?

I installed the Flanders G2 bars and SS lines and cables this weekend with the assistance of Larry ( carbon One). I got the trike off the stand today after cleaning and polishing the rear wheels. The difference in handling and comfort were apparent right away, it now feels like the trike has power steering (think I'll need to stiffen the rear spring preload by 1 notch) and was a much more comfortable riding position. The brakes felt more responsive with the SS lines. I only wish I had the money to do my bike now too maybe next year. If you have not done this upgrade, you need to put it on your list.

Replacing Front Wheel Bearings

This new Venom front tire is awesome ! The bike handles the twisties with confidence I never had with the 404 front I just replaced. I bought the bike with the 404 and always felt like the front end was going to slide out on me, now I feel as though I'm riding a sport bike in the turns ! now I'll be replacing floorboards more often than front tires -
I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to

As often as I'll need this tool I'll just get the loaner from Autozone. Now to pile things on, I just got a notification from fedex my flanders g2 bars, lines & cables are being delivered tomorrow now I'll have both bikes in pieces. The flanders, lines & cables are going on mama's trike. -

I get Netflix through our WII gaming system, it's $8 a month. We connect thru our cable internet connection and it streams flawlessly. There is a lot of old content on there, but still plenty to keep you entertained. If you want the new stuff you have to step up to the next subscription level. My son has that so we get the disk when he's done with it. If you want to know more pm me,can't talk about the rest here.

I got a pair of the 6004's from the shop that mounted my tire, the 6004 OD is too small ! I ordered the all balls bearing and seal kit $24 and change. -
