Having bought a raw 260kit with arm from CI and my younger brother getting a chrome 240 kit from CI I suggest going with.......Performance Edge.

 

Got my wheels from Cycle Image and have been happy. They were better priced when they gave me the rswarrior.com discount, so make sure you ask for the best price rather than accept the price on the web site.

 

rider510,

I have a modified swingarm for a 240 from Cycle Image with chrome RC Component Wheels. Haven't had any problems...

I guess it's up to you who you go with...Cycle Image or Performamce Edge...I don't have any complaints about Cycle Image and I heard that the guys at Performance Edge were good too. If it's a money thing then by all means shop around...

You might want to check out G&S Cycles, as well...

Good Luck!

Im getting the 260 from PE because they include the tire and replace the swingarm and wheel bearings.

 

Both are excellent vendors. I'd go with the which ever is cheaper, or which ever can get you your kit quicker.

 

I have the PE chrome 240 kit and the quallity and comunication are outstanding.I will use Matt and the guys for other parts and will highly recomend them to anyone.Everything went back on asif it was stock,The rear tire is included in the price and I had them mount a front tire so when everything came in it was bolt on and go.No issues no problems.Go PE

 

Hi Rider510 (Steve), Matt here from Performance EDGE. We do have a gently used chrome 18 x 8.5 rear rim, 3 spoke, on the shelf, that we could include with a wide tire kit for you with some attractive pricing. Let me know how I can help! Call us at the shop today!

i am doing the research for the same thing. CI is a local company here in Socal and I think I will still go through matt at PE His prices are better he changes bearings and includes the Metz tire. My personal opinion is his chrome looks better anyway.
Just my 2 cents

 

Mine is G&S Cycle 260 kit on my 2006, Quality work and well priced....Love it!

Sometimes shopping for price will come back to bite you in the pooper. I can't attest to CI, as I have never done bus. with them, but I can tell you that Matt's (PE) cust sevice and expertise is second to none. His chrome is impeccable.

 

Thanks for the advice guys, I've already got a quote
from PE. The price starts adding up quickly if you want
to chrome everything.

 

you might also want to contact forum member Jim C. as well. His forum name is crown. PM him as well before you make a commitment.

 

Have you considered a 260 swingarm with your wheel kit? It opens up alot more options for you in the future...[/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]
Cuz most peeps who go phat just go phatter....[/emoticons/emotion-3.gif)]

 

My bike is at PE right now.

 

PE,s prices seem a little high.I am wanting a 240 Midnight kit.

 

There are basically 4 vendors doing most of the wide tire kits on here:
1)G&S Cycles Inc.
2)Performance Egde
3)Crown
4)Cycle Image.

I had G&S Cycles do my original 240 kit almost 5 years ago. Used them again for my 260 swingarm about 2 years ago. Never had a problem, top of the line craftmanship and service. Do a search on Wide-tire kits on this forum and be prepared for Hours of reading. Good luck on your choice.

 

Basically, whoever is closest to you will save you on shipping costs. I've used Cycle Image 3 times now, and they've taken all the right steps to keep me as a returning customer!

 

I got my Chrome 240 setup with the swingarm, pulley, hub, and rear brake rotor cover from Cycle Images. My customer service from Reza was great! He must have sent me back around 10-15 emails with answers to my questions. I have not done business with Performance Edge but I hear their customer service is equally good. My rims looks much better in chrome![/emoticons/emotion-4.gif] Check it out!

On the chrome 240 kits, we offer the most value for the money. You get way more chrome parts, including a chromed swingarm and lots of other pieces for a lower price.

For $2375 you get,

1) Chrome modified arm
2) Chrome Modified Wheel
3) Chrome Front wheel
4) Chrome Pulley
5) Chrome hub
6) Chrome rear rotor cover

And when you get a Big wheel kit from us, you will get other parts like rear brake caliper+Arm, Front rotors and swingarm end caps at greatly discounted prices...


Email me directly if you are interested.

I've been doing some checking, looks like the 260 swingarm is the way to go, gives you more options in the future. I'm still getting price quotes from everyone. Thanks again for all the input.

If I were you, I would really consider the 240. It is plenty wide and requires less modification to your swingarm. Also note, there are two types of 260 swingarms that are avaiable. One of them has the hump on the right side arm to clear the tire and some do not but require major reconstruction and reinforcement from what I recall. There has been prior topics on like and dislikes of both versions. There maybe a cost difference for either or too so keep this in mind.

 

Hard to beat the Customer Service from Reza. Dealt with Matt as well on some parts, but Reza was ALWAYS quicker on the email responses. IMO, both are good companies. Oh, and try to negotiate with Reza. Worked for me.

 

Im really happy with PE in quality and customer service.
