Text excerpt from the catalog:
Gone are the days of gearbox and primary relocation, right-side drive gearboxes, frame modifications, welding work and any other unpalatable work associated with 300 mm tires in original frames. With Rick’s new ‘Wide Tire Kit’ for Milwaukee Eight Softail, the swingarm fits into the original frame and even a 360 tire runs centered. The power distribution is via an intermediate shaft which sits at the pivot point of the swingarm. Therefore motor and gearbox remain one unit, less strain is being created and suspension forces have no effect on the belt. Since the primary remains in the original location, the footrests don’t have to be repositioned and ground clearance and lean angle remain the same as stock. To make mounting easier, the swingarm is prepared for different options (drive side brake, original brake caliper, side mount license plate) and black polished plastic coated (matt black option possible). Rick’s wheels for use with these kits are supplied with special hubs for this kit so that the wheel runs centered. With the different versions for the various Softail frames and engines, attention was paid to keep the original transmission.
