I put everything that comes with the kit in the pictures. The exhaust DOES NOT come with it, but they do offer a long exhaust. I wanted a shorty. I did not originally buy the blinkers because they were expensive as I was not going to run blinkers. I re-thought that and ordered them anyway and that was a couple hundred more bucks. I like the fact that they act as running lights along with the tail light and they go with the kit so they fit exactly right.
It basically comes with a rear fender, your choice of side mounted license plate mount (normal or sideways), a very nice leather seat, which you can have personalized and all of the things you need to install along with detailed instructions. It comes with drill bits you'll need, all of the hardware you need, etc. So you don't have to stop what you're doing and head down to Home Depot for a tool or bolt. You don't have to create a mount for the seat, etc, it is included.
What you're buying here is good quality parts that look like they will never fail (read heavy and strong) as long as you have the bike and knowledge. It's also not cheap junk from China. It's made in the USA, which is another reason it's expensive. I think people have gotten so used to buying a $15 part from China that we don't realize how much American made parts would be if they still made stuff here.
If you don't know how to make the parts that will turn the bike into a bobber or don't know exactly what to get or just plain don't have time then that's who this kit is for. If you run into trouble you can call these guys and ask questions and they don't mind.
My project is taking a back burner for a week or so since I had to start school back this week, have clinicals all weekend and am working full time as well. I got sidelined because I am doing a lot of other things to the bike while putting on this kit such as painting, new tires, fitting new handlebars, etc. I think if you didn't do those other things this kit could be easily done over a weekend taking your time. And I mean that with an inexperienced person.
I have seen people pee on kits like this because they think it's too easy or expensive and they can "make all of the parts themselves." Well fine, this isn't for those people. I don't know how to make a part and don't have time to learn, but I do want to bob my Savage, so I am the direct market for a kit like this.
