I'll let you know. I am a decent wrench and for some reason like doing this stuff myself. I have a manual and as long as the stock spacers work (I was told by KCint they would) it should be a modest job. If the stock spacing doesn't work I am going to have to order some spacers because I am not sure the dealer will have them and then it is a bigger job. However, basic R&R of the wheels is not very difficult.

That is exactly my hesitation. I bought the Superspoke Pulley and Rotors so I had to get a spacer b/c the pulley doesn't have an offset like the stock one. I have a 1/2" spacer, but not 100% sure it's the right size (may need a 9/16"). Are you using the stock pulley?

I also used KCInt for my wheels. They could not give me an exact spacer size.

I am using the stock pulley exactly for that reason. I believe I saw in an early thread (about a year ago) that the spacer is 9/16". I already had a chrome pulley so I said screw it.

I think this is the link. Check it out:

Yep, I saw that thread too. I got the 1/2" because it came as a throw in with the rotors and pulley from an ebay store. I got a better deal on the rotors, pulley and spacer than KCINT was going to do for just the rotors and pulley. If I need a 9/16" I will order one from vulcan works. My stock pulley is black, or I would have gone with the stocker.

What tires are you going with? Leaning towards Avons myself.

I didn't get the rotors from KCInt either. I bought stock replacements, floating style, chrome center and polished disks. They look really good.

OK, they are on. I just need to finish up.

When I get it outside I will use a regular camera instead of my blackberry.

I've always liked the way fat spokes look on the Heritage. That's TIGHT bud.
