Appreciate all the comments, gents. I cant tell you all how happy I am with it.

I dont have the skills to do the work myself, so I had the shop do a lot of stuff at one time, but for just the kit to be installed, it ran close to $7k. Now thats with rim (upgraded), tire, fender (painted), swingarm, offset hardware, struts, seat, lights, lic plate and a few other small stuff. Like I said, a bit pricey!! However, I forget about the price when I'm ridin' though.

4goose,
I obviously spend a lot of time in my garage - can you tell?? The bike deserves to have a nice place to sleep too. Ive been known to tuck it in at night and read it a bed time story too. My obsession with cleanliness is about as bad as my obsession is with bikes (OCD). I know.... it sucks!!
Hey...you got any pics with your passenger seat on? Curious to see what that 240 kit looks like with it on.

Those are some killer trains men.And a killer garage.The Heartland kit is the best I've seen.The first one I saw was a 2000 train that West Coast Choppers put this kit on.I didn't want to spend the cash, so I did it by buying different parts and putting them together.Of course it was before the softtail came with the 150, let alone the 200, so I kind of had to wing it.My pics suck.

And by the way, by doing it my way, it doesn't hurt so much when the Grinder comes out for the winter!.Fender will be "modified"!

Looks good, man. Not really into your fender...I'm like short rear fenders and long front fenders...but that's me! But, I'm diggin' it.

Me too T Robb.Thats the reason for the grinder!I kind of jumped in blind.I did'nt look around for many fenders.That's what happens when you drink and go online.

That thing is SICK!!!!!

I know it was expensive, but you know have a bike that is better than anything off the showroom floor, even the rocker!.

Enjoy, and nice friggin' bike!!!!

The pics look great guys, I love a big tire on the back of a softail.

My question is, what is the biggest size you can put on with stock swing arms and stock fender? Assuming maybe a rim change but a wider tire.

I believe a 210 Metz on a stock rim is the widest you can go without major modifications.

also what about the lights and relocating the lisence plate? did you get those from the same company?
