I hope this isn't too stupid of a question but here goes. I have what was originally an 84 FXSB. A lot of the original parts have been changed but the narrow glide front end with the mag wheel and dual disk brakes remain. I have inheireted an old 41mm triple tree that I would like to use without having to spend a lot on a full conversion. Could I use a set of early 80's fxwg dual disk lower legs and fork tubes (from eBay) with my current mag wheel/dual disk setup? I assume I would just have to space the rotors out from the wheel to keep them rolling through the calipers. I am trying to avoid having to buy a new wheel, new calipers, new front brake master cylinder etc.

In case you can't tell, I'm new to the old bike business.

Thanks!

 

they sell spacer kits for the rotors for wide glide conversion, hardware included

 

Mine about same just make center wheel on axle use spacers to get distance. You cane buy spacer material and cut to size if needed verify axle size when getting lower legs Just take time and all will cool. I also singled out front brake on mine lost little braking force just compensate for Good luck. Also DK CUSTOMS a lot of good info and parts available

My lower legs are designed for dual disks just stayed with a single
also nice work lift table

 

Thanks for the advice. I'm glad to hear it won't be too big a deal.
I am super happy with the HF lift. I waited until it was cheap as possible and had to put up with a few "extra" set up steps with the bottle jack (it had a lot of air trapped in it). It safely lifts the bike where I need it to be....
