1. Buy a service Manual.
2. Do it yourself.
3. Feel proud that you did it yourself.
4. Ride badazz night train with 250 kit you did yourself.
One great thing about doing the above is telling people you did the install yourself when they're giving you props on your ride. I wonder how much the dealers charge to install that kit, but I'd imagine it's at least 8 hours.
I need help in the atlanta area installing a hearland 250 wide tire kit on my night train. I will buy all the beer and food you can drink and eat. Rod
NTL....
Ur dealing with a bunch of animals here.......
If U said all the beer and food U want free, plus a stripper will be dancing while the work is being done....Well............
U'd have to have a bigger garage to hold everybody.
Sorry we're not closer. I installed my Heartland 250 Bobber kit and it's really not that difficult. Like stated above, a lift, a jack, a decent set of tools (I borrowed the specialty tools from a local shop), and a service manual. It can be done and you'll learn a lot about your bike too! Good luck!
