You'd need the trees and all. Couldn't tell you if the neck bearings are the same size. Might have to change those too. I'm betting ride height would be thrown off. Might have better luck using the Pro Street legs with the Sporty trees, as the PS forks look slightly longer. That could be an illusion though. I don't have a PN to compare.

I would think the money would be better spent here on an Ohlins front end.

I went the 07' FXDSE route and installed an inverted 53mm Marzocchi front end.. best decision ride wise (next to installing FXDSE rear multi-stage shocks on the rear) I have ever made.. The front end is solid stable and EATS bumps and pavement problems and delivers a superior ride.. I shopped it pretty hard and finally picked it up off flea-bay for around 600 clams.

I think the front end could be "grafted" to a dyna- trees and all. I "grafted a FL softail front end to a '07 street bob and an FL Softail front end to a '07 sportster.
Dyna was a bit more difficult, Grinding on dyna neck and machining off a bit of the top fork clamp at neck pinch area was required also grinding off off fork stops on lower FL trees had to happen. A few others have done dynas this way on this forum.
The sportster was just a mater of grinding down the fork stops on the sportster frame neck and grinding off the lower fork stops on the lower FL triple tree. Then just bolt it all right up.
Were theres a will theres a way.
Now who's got the ***** to be the first?

I honestly did not look at the Roadster pics long enough to notice it had inverted forks. Interesting. I wonder if this is the beginning of other models coming with inverted forks in the future.

I guarantee the Lowrider will have it next year. Why? Because I bought this year.

I am all about this mod. It is going to be long, expensive winter. I can see it now.
