I bet you really got to shift your weight when turning huh.

Was the 240 really not wide enough for you???

nice build. Heartland kits are pure quality, no questions there.

With the shotgunshock and the metzler tire the ride is way better than stock. (dunlop's are as hard as a rock) no pun intended. The bag is a sokustoms custom made bag. He does great work. I really cant notice any difference in handling from the 240. Devil Dog dont worry you'll be joining me in the 280 club before you know it. Keep us all up to date on your build too.

You should be able to sell off the old Heartland parts for some return on your outlay.

Yeah, you have to have an entire different kit to run the 280.
