Hello, I am new to this forum having recently retired from 2 wheeling after 50 plus years in the wind. I got my 2009 Tri-Glide about 3 years ago but find it lacking in a lot of areas. This winter I am planning to change to a 30 spline pulley and 557 cams. I have already done the S&S intake and am looking to upgrade the exhaust as well. As far as looks go I wonder if anyone has had any experience with RC Components wheels sold by West End Motorsports. I am planning this work for the winter, hopefully after my knee replacement. Any advice or comments gratefully accepted. Bob

The gear and cams should wakeup that motor Make sure you have it tuned. shoot for torque not horsepower. Get a good header pipe that is for torque more than sound. check for current reviews on the wheels. good luck and welcome aboard.

RC components builds a good wheel and gives a 7 year chrome warranty, which is better than most. Hannigan Trikes has RC build their billet front wheels for their Harley Transformer trike conversions, one of which I owned and while at Hannigan getting my Transformer kit built, I drove to RC's Shop in Bowling Green to pick up my wheel. While there, I got a tour of their plant and it is a first class operation.

Thanks to everyone for the great welcome and for the advice, especially Papa Zookeeper's on the RC Components recommendation. That clinches it for me and I will be going ahead with an order soon. Thanks again.

LOL! No, you got it right the first time. It can be a real zoo in here sometimes.
