Are you thinking of the Heartland Two Five 0 kit? Here is a bike with one on it. You can mount it yourself. the hardest part is taking off the inner primary and installing the spacer for the belt. I can get it for you at a discount too!

Thats the look i am going for.
Is the Heartland kit not very expensive. I was thinking more of buying all parts separate to keep the funds down?

Default spend spend spend! Do it today!

Hello mate!
Like you, I'm in the UK, and I'm halfway through a Heartland 250 install, and trust me, you're better off ordering it all in one go. It's great stuff, and if you ring them direct, they are very helpful. Just order the bits today and have a great Christmas! My bike looks like Robocop when he got cut in half at the moment but when it sees tarmac in the new year, woe betide any **** stepping up. It'll be like bringing a knife to a gunfight!
Regards
Ben
