Contents of the Santee kit	Stock swingarm	Wide Drive Swingarm
Transmission plate moves the transmission 1" to the left	1" wide spacer moves the inner primary left to align with the transmission	Keep in mind that the stock rear fender struts must be cut off the frame. This step cannot be "undone" at a later date
Kit does not include rear fender. Peter chose a 8-5/8" Milwaukee Iron fender with internal struts	On 1999 Softails, the rear fender must be modified so the electrical box will lie flat under the seat This is the "before" shot	"After"
The Milwaukee Iron fender's shape also made it necessary to modify the stock-shaped seat to fit the electrical box...	...and to get the side mounting tabs to line up with the bolt holes	The seat was stripped down to the steel pan to make the necessary changes
Once the seat was reupholstered it looks absolutely perfect	Choice of rear wheel is also up to the customer. Peter chose a Performance Machine 5.5"x18" solid chrome wheel	The "Drive Side Brake" that Peter chose leaves the right side of the rear wheel completely visible
The Wide Drive Kit with the PM Drive Side brake looks great from the right...	...the left...	...and the rear! Peter only went to a 180mm rear tire...up to a 200 will fit.
