Moving right along... everything is working well, the only problems I have had is because the kit was not designed for an 84. The last pics may interest people not even interested in wide tires. The kit came with a 3/4" axle so you can reuse your brake caliper bracket, but all the 18" x 8.5" wheels have 1" bearings. I made my own "adapter". I bought a piece of 1" DOM tubing...total cost $8 shipped...the ID was perfect...I had to knock a couple thousandths off the OD...I made it the full length between the swingarm and used 1" spacers. As an added benefit I can hang all spacers and caliper bracket on the "adapter" ...pick the wheel up with a floorjack and stab the axle...easiest wheel to install I have ever had.

 

I found some exhaust I think I can make fit. No big deal you say...next time your in a catalog checking out Softail exhaust, notice that virtually none fit 84-85 to start with because of the kickstart...then add 6-speed, hydraulic clutch, 250 tire and it really becomes fun. Had to knock a small dent on the backside to clear the hydraulic clutch...and it looks like I will be spacing,grinding holes, bending brackets to get them parallel.

 

That is looking so cool, great job

 

Lookin' better and better!
Bet you can't wait til its done

 

Plan on painting my bike this summer so I needed something to get me buy for this year...found these on Ebay.

 

 

Gotta put the chain on, get the rear wheel alined and I am waiting on my license plate mount (2 week lead time) then it needs a serious wash.

 

Great job. Looks nice and clean. I love that caliper on the sprocket setup.
Really opens the wide wheel from right side.
