So before i got the kit i was doing some research and it was really hard to find out what i was getting myself into. Just about the only thing i could find was on the website of a company that sold the kit. www.scootersperformance.com

So i went ahead and purchased the entire kit just out of curiosity. The Initial price of all the parts came out to $720.00 plus tax. When i got the parts a few days later i found out that contrary to what the sales person told me over the phone (just stating facts) the stock EFI fuel pump of my 2004 Softail FXSTI, DID NOT bolt on to the bottom of the EFI tank. The EFI pump that works has to be from a EFI Sportster. So my two options were 1, order a new from HD which is about $500. or 2, try Ebay or Craigslist. I was lucky to find one 2 hours away for a decent price.

So after i picked up the fuel pump i went ahead and Kreemed the inside of the tank which set me back another $50, and was messy as hell. The next thing i had to purchase was a new brake light/license plate. I used www.noschoolchoppers.com because i had used them before and i love the brake lights the make. That set me back another $120.

After test fitting all the parts i decided to powder coat the tank adapter, seat kit and struts which ran another $150. Got all the parts back from powder coating and put the tank adapter and seat on the bike only to find out that the ECU did not fit under the seat. option 1, build some type of bracket and mount it between the rear fender and the seat, or 2, Purchase a swing arm bag which cost about $150, and relocate the Computer and power commander into the bag. I personally like the swing arm bags so that what I did.

The final step was to paint the tank and rear fender. I went with a Lava Red which matched my 2012 Frontier. The quality of the tank and fender aren't really top notch, so between body work and paint i spent $500 to have it painted by some shady Mexican dude named "Pepe" which would only accept cash...lol. Long story short I knew he was legit from a friend of a friend. So after the tank and fender came back from paint I was nearly $2,000 into this kit. Now that everything is on the bike, I still have to line the seat with a leather pad just like the one on the picture of the Lucky F*cker kit, and cover the battery under the seat with a piece of leather or canvas much like the kit shows in the pictures.

My intentions on writing this is NOT to discourage anyone from buying this kit, or to advertise any products that i used. I just wanted to shine a light on some of the things that you might not think about when purchasing a kit like this one. I honestly don't regret buying this kit, and i still think it looks pretty bad ***. So i hope this helps anyone thinking about buying this kit, or just someone trying to set a budget for your next weekend project. I'm sure i missed a few things and if you have any question just ask. I got some before and after pics just to show what the kit looks like.
