Depending on the wheel, you may have to shave the brake caliper mounting tab down on the overhang that's towards the front of the bike. You may also have to shave the back of the brake caliper just a little bit to allow clearance. I know this has to be done with the Softail Custom wheel I'm running that's slightly concave. I don't know if a spoke wheel would fit better and would clear.

You can either have the stock pulley machined or just replace it with the thinner (3/4"?) pulley and belt. I did the latter as it provides more clearance after having the stocker machined and not liking the 1/16-1/8" clearance that was there.

The inner fender strut braces can be removed completely (probably not a good idea if you have passengers. I haven't gotten a straight answer from anyone about this though) or need to at least have the bottom wire holding curves shaved off. I did the top and bottom so I could slam it with the Shotgun Shock. You also have to shave down the bolts a little bit. I did this, but need to take some more off. If I could remove them completely and still safely ride two up, I would.

You'll then have to get the correct spacers for everything. I'm not sure what size they are, I'd have to measure.

Clearances are tight and you'll probably never want to have someone else remove the rear wheel for you ever again. It kind of becomes a jigsaw puzzle at this point to get the wheel on and off. The axle gets removed, then the brake rotor is taken off. The caliper is then fanagled through the swing arm and the bike can then be lifted to clear the wheel and tire.

Or you can just buy the 200 kit from Hog Pro. It may be easier to take the wheel on and off if you do it with their set up. I wouldn't know though, I did everything by piecing it together because I wanted to keep the solid rear wheel look on my Deuce.
