well i havn't rode the night train with a 250. but i've put about 200k on the victory hammer and it handles nice. the only big thing i could tell is a turn from a dead stop..like a stop sign . i felt like i had 2 really push the bike down to get it to lean . but if your moving no prob.

I have the Heartland 250 on my fatboy , as far as handling goes its really not that different, as hog tied says you can tell its a little heavy at a stop sign turning left, but the look outweighs any small handleing issues for me, very straightforward install, talk to Mark or Chris at Heartland , they can fix you up.
there are some other posts here with more info , not sure how to link it for you though

I also run a Heartland kit(180/200mm kit). Its by far the best kit around.

Good info. Mega, I'll ensure to give Brad a call. Thanks.
FatBoy, your bike is sick! That is exactly wht I am looking for. Nice to hear the ride isn't much different. I have heard a lot of good things about the Heartland kit. Thanks.
