This kit shows that there is no offsets for the primary or belt that are needed.....which would be awesome if this was the case. Think i am about to pull the trigger on this kit when I get some more info....;.

I'd like to know some more info on this as well. How big of a tire you talking about with this bolt on kit?

You can go 150 without any modifications whatsoever.

I might just do that then. Seems like a cheaper solution for a lil more meat on the back end.

I didn't like the horizontal license either, so I took it apart a turned it 90° and added some acorn nuts to spice it up. Now it looks ****.
Easy fix, about 10 minutes.

No Dude, Henry's went hasta. It was a shame the deal to save it went sour.
I went to junior high school just around the corner from there and had to walk by it every day to get home. What a bummer.
I took that pic just days before it closed.

Heres my 2013 Slim just got her last Sat. Can't wait to get her on the road. Waiting to get her back after they put the black shorts, detachable leather saddle backs passenger seat and sissy bar on her and finish the stage one! CANT WAIT! love the slim for the bobber throw back style!
