Freebird Posted October 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 25, 2022 Made a little modification today. I like it but haven't tried it out yet. Anybody spot the change? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorcycle Mike Posted October 25, 2022 Share #2 Posted October 25, 2022 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody spot the change? 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted October 26, 2022 Share #5 Posted October 26, 2022 Looks great Don, I've been wanting to put a Strat wheel on both bikes, I think they improve the looks of the rsv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted October 26, 2022 Yes, I think that even the regular Strat wheel looks great. These chrome ones are harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted October 26, 2022 Share #7 Posted October 26, 2022 That looks great and I am curious about the ride and handling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dueyk1111 Posted October 26, 2022 Share #8 Posted October 26, 2022 so a dummy question here, is the stratoliner rim smaller? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share #13 Posted October 28, 2022 @BratmanXj, I’m not very familiar with the full floating discs What are the advantages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
