This kit shows that there is no offsets for the primary or belt that are needed.....which would be awesome if this was the case. Think i am about to pull the trigger on this kit when I get some more info....;.
I'd like to know some more info on this as well. How big of a tire you talking about with this bolt on kit?

You can go 150 without any modifications whatsoever.

I might just do that then. Seems like a cheaper solution for a lil more meat on the back end.

I didn't like the horizontal license either, so I took it apart a turned it 90° and added some acorn nuts to spice it up. Now it looks ****.
Easy fix, about 10 minutes.

No Dude, Henry's went hasta. It was a shame the deal to save it went sour.
I went to junior high school just around the corner from there and had to walk by it every day to get home. What a bummer.
I took that pic just days before it closed.
