Tire to belt clearance is so close, I'd hate to see that belt if you got a flat.
Good job on the change over so far though.

I wonder what's special about the rim they make you buy. I mean in theory I should be able to go buy an 18x10 rim, slap a 280 on there and it work (with a different fender)

Would be interesting to see a 240, 250, 280 next to each other and see if you really can tell the difference...

I must say the clearances are mighty tight....

belt to tire clearance

belt to swingarm clearance

The last thing I wanted to do was check out the turn signals in the struts.
the problem I was having was the wires will not stay in the channel so
out came the hot glue gun and problem solved.

mounted them to see them work.

off

Now I wait for the fenders or the inner primary witchever comes first...

Looking good bud!

I saw Heartlands 280 kit out in Cinci at the V-Twin Expo last week and man did it look sick in person. Those LED's are pretty trick too.

DD the rim made by colorodo customs for the heartland 280 kit has a special offset. The box the wheel came in said rocker 18X10 280 hub so im guessing that hub measurement needs to be right.
