If you go with the 300 and over kit, you can do the install...all you have to do is unbolt your swingarm, and take the new one, put the bearings in it, and bolt it up...the kits are ment to be a bolt on item...beware that with the 240 kits you will have to grind out a 1/8" from the left inside frame rail to clear the chain that is counter spaced to fit the wheel. Oh, you will have to grind out your front sprocket cover also. You should use photo bucket to post pics, its the easiest thing around to do it with here. $7000, is a bit overly expensive for a big tire kit...I'm sure you can do better than that, I know I sure did!!! About $2000 for C&S swingarm, $900 for rear PM 300 Gatlin wheel brand new in chrome with chrome sprocket, $1000 for matching front rim, and about $200 for avon venom 300 tire!!! no even close to $7000. My recomendation is buy the arm raw, and polish or paint it...you will save in the long run!!! Both the swingarm and the frame in my pics were of polished aluminum, rim too. Chrome tends to crack when put on parts like frames, swingarms, etc...that flex. To give you a baseline to go by, the foot pegs and pass pegs are chrome, you can't realy tell the difference. If you want to save a few dollars, get the swingarm, then send your factory rear wheel to "Sandy" at Kosman to get it widened...I think he can widen the factory wheels all the way up to a 400 size. Then you don't have to worry about getting a custom set of matching rims that will cost you an arm and a leg. By the way Kosman is reputable, they have been doing custom work for dragracers for centuries.
