Hay tomhummer does the Hartland kit put you more forward and down? How comfortable is it? I am thinking of getting it, I put on a Danny Gray, It looks good but I don't like the way it feels.

I would recommend Eeasternperformance as well. I just bought my pipes and air cleaner there at a decent price. Free shipping and great service.

along with the Heartland you also have to lower your bike 2" to get the fender to lower and wrap around the tire ...instead of it sitting high off the tire...it lowers the bike obviously and the Heartland definately sits you in the bike more instead of you feeling like you're sitting on top of it...you sit a bit further back and it does give it a way cooler riding experience...plus it looks great slammed lower to the ground...the ride is still a bit stiff as far as suspension goes but as I said looks good though... I also did a 2" lift on my tank also... I used progressive shocks to lower it the 2" needed..I hope this helps you some..if you have anymore questions feel free to aski

She is your girlfriend !?

Anyway, i am interested in comparison between V&H and Martin S. exhaust. Can you share your opinion? Design point of view is clear from pictures, but what about sound. Any difference? I love the shape of both systems, but personaly i would prefer something quiter.

Regarding the Progressive 422`s + Heartland kit, after your current experience with them and if you have chance to get free something else, would you use different solution or stay with them (talking about lowering, not Heartland)? I mean e.g. is the 2" lowering enough or still some space bwteen fender/wheel to go even lower, etc...

I am asking since this exhaust/Heartland kit/Progressives is exactly way i want to go, i love your bike. Thanks!!!
