Just wanted to share my story/review on the Hill Topper. This went on a 2010 Redline Conquest Sport.

I've had the kit for one week now, and it has been great. Install was quick, and I think i spent more time cleaning up the wires, than putting everything on. When I frist took it out I was a bit concerned. Yes, the bike gets a bit heavier, and in my case it also felt weird having a few extra pounds on the rear. I thought I made a mistake, and wouldn't like it. But that changed by the morning of day 3.

I have a 8 mile round trip to work, if I don't go anywhere else. I have a few hills, and the wind can be a real pain. Doesn't seem like much of a commute, but when I get to work, I change, and get to business. No sit down for coffee, no real breaks, and i'm there up to 15 hours, almost all on my feet. By the end of the week I don't even want to ride a mile. But like I said, by day 3 there was no doubt that I was keeping the Hill Topper. I was use to the extra pounds on the bike. And my legs, refreshed everyday, and I still got my workout. Bottom line, I am able to enjoy my rides even more, still burn of calories, and melt away stress faster.

I also wanted to add a few other details. In the past week we have had snow, melting snow, and ice. The H-T has been fine going through it all. I also have studded tires on, and have had no problems going over ice with the kit on.
