    Here is the instructions from RJS

    Wheel Disc Mounting Instructions Before raising the trike, loosen all the lug nuts.

    Do Not remove them at this time.

    Jack up each side of your trike under the tie down loops, which are located on each side of the trikes under carriage at the base of the lower shock mount. Place jack stands under the flat steel cross members between the mufflers. Correct placement of the jack stands are needed to allow the axle and wheels to hang down, allowing for the ease of removing the wheels.

    With the wheels off the floor. Remove the lug nuts and pull off your wheels.



    Do Not remove the protective vinyl covering from the discs at this time. You are to first check the fitment of the disc. With the brushed side, (back side) of the disc facing you. Take hold of the disc through the large center hole opening. You will be placing the disc into the back side of the mag. Take notice that the disc lays flat on the center face of the mag which has the 4 holes that the wheel hub lugs go through and that the outer edge, (the disc circumference) lays inside the indentation of the mag's rim. If the disc doesn't lay flat. Look to make sure there arent any wheel weights or road grit stopping this. The wheel weights can be relocated slightly inwards, Not forward or backwards, only inwards, (towards the the center of the trike) which is away from the disc for clearance.

    If you want to completely remove the wheel weights. We recommend purchasing a product that is used by emergency vehicles to prevent blow outs and will also balance your wheels. Known as Ride-on.



    If the disc lays flat inside the mag. Your good to go.

    You must thoroughly clean your mags inside and out. Keep in mind that if you mount the discs without cleaning your mags. The Mirror polished surface is just like a mirror and will reflect an image of any dirt you missed cleaning off. So make sure your mags are clean. There is no need to apply any polish to the Mirror Polished Stainless Steel surface. These will not rust. If your finger prints are present on the disc's surface. We recommend wiping the discs with a new clean micro fiber towel only.



    Again, before removing the vinyl protective covering from your discs. Please make sure to read the Disclaimer Label.

    After removing the vinyl from the disc. Place the mirror polished side of the disc in the back side of the mag. Making sure to line up the 4 holes in the disc with the 4 holes of the mag. Then take masking tape or equivalent and tape the disc to the mag at 4 places, like that of a compass at N,S,E and W. Taping the disc in the mag allows for an easy install of the two pieces together. If you try to install them separately, there's a very good chance of scratching the disc surface. With the wheel and the disc installed. First hand tighten the lug nuts and then remove the tape. Now tighten all the lug nuts at 80-100ft Lbs.

    If you have any questions. Please do not hesitate to call us at 910-592-1585
    OK so I looked at the website and they look great. And they keep the brake dust from reaching the wheel spokes and rim . . . but, but, but the road grime still reaches the wheel and now the SS dics from the outside. So how hard are the wheels and now the disc to clean? Inquiring minds what to know from those who have.

    Jerry, the only hard part to clean on stock Freewheeler wheels is inside the cast spokes

    If I wasn't so lazy I would take the wheels off and remove the discs for a good cleaning and polish

    I'm with you. I am waiting till I remove the wheels for flushing the rear brake lines, then they get a thorough cleaning & polish.

    Just came back from a 1,600 mile road trip and the even after careful washing and scrubbing there are still embedded spots on all three wheels. I've been cleaning with a couple different aluminum / metal polishes and they are looking better but still not pristine by and means.

    And the front wheel is an absolute bear to geat to for cleaning. I've had CVOs for the last fourteen years and they all come with chrome wheels. They get dirty but chrome sure cleans up a lot better than these aluminum wheels.
    Here is the remedy to it all if you keep the stock wheels. Take them off and clean them well. Get CQuartz and liberally apply a coat allow an hour and apply another coat. The longer you let it cure between coats the better. Once that is done apply 2 coats of reload letting it cure up between each coat. I also did polish mine before I did all this. The result is hit it with water and whatever is sticking falls off. News is I rarely have much dust sticking to my rims and the water just beads up and falls off also
