Besides the "Stealership" any good highly recommended bolt on kits available out there for the Sporty? If so, please provide recommendations... Highly appreciated~

Check either hammerperf.com or nrhsperformance.com. Both are good.

Did you even search?? Those two companies are the ONLY people who make a legit 1250 kit for XL's.

Who you prefer just depends, but either way you're going to get someone who is far more knowledgable than nearly everyone and has dedicated their life to learning about these bikes and how to make 'em go.

One big diff between them is Hammer has the kits for both the older frame mount bikes and the newer rubber mount bikes but afaik NHRS only has the older style.

Hammer is having a sale on the older style kits only $540 over at the XL Forum

What else do you need besides the 1250 kit? Or does it come with everything you need to bolt up and ride.

you need adjustment to your ecm. everything else is included if all you want to do is turn it into a 1250.

the smaller fin kits do not look bad on an iron and $540 is a super deal. i paid $650 for the same thing a year and a half ago.
