I too can vouch for Heartlands quality and great customer service. Had the pleasure of spending some time chatting with the guys at the Expo in Cinci this year while checking out the new Dyna kit. It's great talking with someone who absolutely loves what they do for a living!

That would be a killer price, but like you said it wouldn't even cover the cost of the material.

I'm hoping to be able to test ride a few of the bikes they have on site. If I work it out so that I can I will post a full review of the handling characteristics as i am very curious about how ti affects things.

Yeah, A 2-5-0 kit, meanwhile (HEAVILY) modifying the stock fender (bring it to bare material, slice it in pieces, weld some strips in to widen it, etc) would look **** on my bike. Especially if I could get a rim that mimics the stock FatBoy Lo rim to fit that tire (i like the black with the exposed aluminum strip around the edge).. I would love that. Anyone got a spare $3200 laying around?
actually come to think of that.. if i were to do the fender myself, i could probably get away with finding how to mount the stock struts, current taillight/turnsignals, same wiring harness.. all i'd need is the swingarm, offset kit for the primary/transmission cover.. whatever that do-dad is that keeps the belt/chain straight with a wider tire.. then just gotta screw around with the seatpan.. what am i missing ?

Heres a pic of the primary offset being installed, if your able to remove the inner primary and sprocket nut you can install this kit. The only special tools I needed were the 2 1/4" socket for the trans sprocket and a puller for the clutch basket and bearing race. It took one evening to get everything on great looking kit im very happy with it
And heres the money shot the 260 tire.
