Default Anyone ever use the Radium 250 Tire Kit - NEW $949!!!!!!!!!!!

Jireh Cycles has this 250 tire kit with everything needed except paint for evo or twin cam softails. The price is $949. Shipping is $10. Has anyone ever used this kit? Feedback? For that price I don't see how you can go wrong. The pic is identical to the Fat Azz Kit. Thanks.

You should've jumped on that Platinum system in the classified section! Excellent price!

I bought a cheaper kit and sent it back because it was a "general" parts kit. It was "suppose" to fit my bike and after dealing with the issues of returning it, I bought a product from a known company. I'm not saying you'll have issues, but the experience sure wasn't pleasing for me.....

edit: I will tell you the spacing on the bolts for the struts is different on an '06 Night Train (and probably the others) than the '05 softails. this was one of my problems.....

What kit in the classified section are you talking about? I searched and could not find it.

What kit did you end up returning?

I already have a set of bad *** wheels, tires, rotors and a belt pulley so that's no big deal. It's just like the air ride. I can justify spending $1,500 on that system or $2,000 on a fat tire kit. The only reason I was looking at this instead of just doing the 200 tire conversion is because I'd only be out of pocket $1,150 plus would have my old parts to sell. And yea I know cool ain't cheap lol.......

Thanks.

One kit fits 1991-2006? They changed a lot of MAJOR things between those years...I do not believe one kit could possibly cover the differences... do your homework before you spend the green.
