I am about to pull the trigger on the Heartland kit. After a year or so of research, it's really the only choice as all the other choices out there- Roland Sands, RWD, etc, require large amounts of modification/fabrication. This adds to whatever $ you'd have saved by paying less for the kit. The RSD kit especially is misleading. The company makes great stuff, but if you take the time to actually talk to the company, they'll tell you that there's more involved than just buying the Tracker fender-aside from having to invert the new smaller battery and moving the ECM... you also have to buy theiir springer seat set up... and their tank... get it? Same with the PM Phatail kit- can't just buy the fender.
So the upshot is that the Heartland kit is really the only way to go. As far as signals and licence plate holders... there ARE other cheaper choices out there. For instance, I picked up the Kuryakyn mini-bullets (red and orange), steel wooled them and rattle-canned one set flat black ($100). And I am picking up a Kuryakyn lighted LP holder ($139). And I'm doing this over time... saving my $. Patience really is a virtue.

Listen, I've done a LOT of research and Heartland charges what they do for a reason- their stuff is the best-designed, best made of this type of stuff on the market- bottom line. They know it and charge accordingly.
