Default Wide Tire Kit

I have a 1996 FX Springer that has become my "work bike" since my old lady has become really attached to the Ultra. I've always wanted to put a wide tire kit on it, (or have it done) and I'm thinking about a 250 kit. Has anyone had this done that can tell me roughly what to expect as far as cost and other possible problems I could run across or any reason not to? Thanks

younggeezer I'm right there with you. Wanting to do this with my 2000 Heritage but the HD wide tire kit does'nt go wide enough for me. As with you I want the most bang for my buck with the least problems. I know Hogpro has lots of options kinda pricey though. good luck keep us informed as I will do likewise.

There is also The heartland kit. Not cheap but it is a quality product. I don't want a wide tire but ahve seen bikes with them and they look great.
