They came off a '90 dresser.
I think there is enough room that all I need to do is add some spacers between the fender tabs and the fender mounts on the lowers.
I am just concerned about how much the front end will drop.
Do I need 2 over tubes?

I would do 2 over tubes....Those bikes sit so low anyway that to lower them even a little bit more would have them become almost unrideable.

You might be able to get away with a slightly longer spacer at the top of the spring to compensate for 1 1/2".

The front end is not going to drop at all...spacers will not work...if you need an adapter like this.

I'm guessing those are for the fender right?
Where do I get a set?

Tons on ebay...some say they fit 84-2014...some say 2000-2014...not sure what the difference is, or if there even is a difference...some are for 16" wheel and some are for 21" so pay attention.

I finally got the FLH lowers put on my FLSTC tubes.
Still waiting on a few more parts.

I'm anxious to see this. I keep wondering if the stock wheel spacers will work or if you're gonna lose the speedometer drive. I am certainly not sure either way. I have an idea the triple trees from a bagger are wider than an FL softail but I could be wrong there too.
All that being said it is a moco front wheel already waiting for the right side caliper to slide over a right side disc.

One last question, what are you gonna do with the salad bowl? Lol

I didn't even think about the trees.
I hope you are wrong.

I got the 2240-60 speedo drive for a bagger.
Stock wheel spacers won't work (I have the right ones on order).
I put a bagger 10 spoke wagon wheel on a while back.
I have the right side caliper ready but since it hasn't been on a bike for a year I'm going to rebuild it.
Also waiting on some longer cowbells as the ones on there now won't work with the shorter lowers.

The salad bowl along with the front and rear wheel went to Cowboy51 a while back.

The reason for my concern is the part number for the passing lamp brackets are different 'tween the FLST vs baggers. The stanchions, the lamps and the rest of the numbers are the same however. Why? You're about to find out and you'll tell me. <-- prolly if I ask nicely.
Again Thc, I may be completely wrong.

Yeah I'll tell you but to be honest I'm in no big hurry to complete the change.
I will have to order some custom brake lines for this and I really don't want the bike down for a week when I could be riding it.
