all you really NEED to buy is a front offset pulley. the rest you an fabricate your stock parts. here is my conversion for 40 bucks......cost of the pulley/rear axle

I'm not doubting your word...
But what about the rear wheel...
The rest one may be able to do... but with my welding ability (or lack there of) I couldn't do the swing arm... struts... side cover widening of the rear fender... seems to me you'd just about need a machineshop/bodyshop... lol Charlie D.

The money thing... that don't bother me... some people think your crazy if you spend any money at all on a Sportster...
I on the other hand... if it's what you want and you got the money... go for it...
If I decide to keep my Sportster... I've got a set of wheels picked out that'll set me back about $3600.00... I could give a 'chit what people say... lol

RE: wide tire kit
i hear ya there charlie.
my rims where right around 3000 when i got mine..
a ways off of 3600 but if you got your mind set on it and you like it.. well, what do ya do...
my sporty is paid for so nomatter what i do to it, its a keeper.. ill never get anything close to what i have into it so why not keep it.. trick it out, .... just because someone else or KBB,nada can book a value on your bike .. after you have worked on it kept it a while, drove it..cussed at it, put some personal touches on it, its priceless..... maybe i havnt had mine long enuf yet, but when i walk out into the garage and see the bike sitting there i smile and wish it wasnt 6 below out there...
and what i can do to it next...and think about what i have done to it..the scenes and the wind..the things run threw my head so fast but i remember every little detail....i hope that happens everytime i go out there...
talk about a ranten and a raven...(sorry)
anyways.,. im one of those guys that hang onto things... this is my first harley and i will always keep it... my first car was a 68 camaro.. i will always keep that too...
i know i want a 240-250 tire just gotta find the right kit or components to do it..
im thinking i can get away for 2,500-2800
