Price is a big factor but I don't want a piece of shit either. I got a buddy that lets me have parts from V Twin at cost.

I have a buddy that's a dealer for V-Twin also and get the same deal you do. I had a cheap-ass rotor cup that came from V-Twin, seperate and got damn lucky it didn't destroy my Crane HI-4 ignition in the process. Sometimes cheap doesn't always mean cheap. I won't be buying anymore parts from them.

you cant go wrong with either hammer in hand hardtail
or led sled
i personally like the look of hammer in hand kit better but quality wise they are both as good

I just checked out the hammer in hand hardtail. I really like the look and the fact it comes with a motor jig. guess i'll have to tell the kids to skip a birthday this year. ha. thanks for the heads up

I prefer Led Sled... Kansas Kustoms makes a nice hardtail and so does Tigman.

Every time i think of cheap and motorcycles it reminds me of horrible noises and pain. how much is walking upright worth anyway? cheap is usually not good and good is usually not cheap.

Most affordable one I used on my old IH was Elswick Cycles. Got mine back within a few days and it was Tigged. The next one I could think of is SlimFab.
