I got the kit from AME, Greg is really good to work with. some things to note, they list a rear wheel for about 400 bucks, if you look on eBay you can find the same wheel for about $150, the main issues were getting the wheel centered then finding the rights sized pully and roter spacers. other than that it was pretty easy, just took some time, and since it was winter....

please note I am not getting any thing for advertising for AME, really great folks to work with.

If you decide to go this route and need some help just give a shout.

Looking good Ken. How is the handling ???

[kenf729]

The bar position is great, the wide front ends feels more stable, the rear has more rubber hitting the road. overall I jacked the bike up about 1 1/2 inches, the stock wide glide front end is that much taller than the stock sporty. on the highway doing speed. its great, must admit thou that slow speed, like parking lots it's a bit top heavy, maybe I need to get used to the apes???

All in all I really like the feel, once the weather warms up a tad and I can do a couple of hundred miles then I'll be able to give better status.

The 18" x 5.5 wheel would be the way to go with the 180 or 200 mod.

BTW- have you seen the 300 tire yet.:roflblack :doh Looks like a hippos ass.:roflblack

[95xlcustom]
