hmmmmmmmm....... That does sound like a good idea.

 

Kinda my thoughts...I do alot of runs out of town during spring, summer, and fall here, so it's mostly highway at higher speeds. I also can't really agree with or see justification in buying a whole new bike for a single purpose like that. I love my Sporty, and I want to be able to ride it as long and as comfortably as possible.

I won't really pay anything for labor...cept maybe havin to hear my sister bitch a little bit when we're bustin' knuckles gettin it in. We're both good mechanics, and she's HD certified....and she's also a badass when it comes to lower ends on Sportsters (she can completely disassemble, rebuild, and tune a bike in ONE day). I'm also getting a huge price break because we're ordering the kit through Sucker Punch, so it's at dealer cost.

In all, I think it's entirely worth it. I'd rather spend the cash and install it on a freshly rebuilt motor than have to replace the entire lower end and possibly other top end parts when the engine craps out from wear and tear prematurely.

I am getting a BT, but it's more so I can cruise around with my girl and take her on some rides. She's actually INSISTING on it, lol. That and I really wanna build a big ol' hot-rod sled out of a Fatboy [8D]. That would just be too damn cool!
