Not sure what route your looking to go eventually? Springer, standard softail front end, more rake and longer downtubes? Here's a couple of my latest mods to my Crossbones, not sure if this will help or not. Good luck...

Roland Sands has a conversion kit for several years now to do it. In AIM there is another maker advertised also.

This is a custom build that my friend who owns Feltys Custom Cycle in Lewisville built. Its looks killer.

That bike looks awesome! However, I must admit that I find the open belt primary a little scary. I'm worried I'd get caught in it!

Otherwise, it looks sa-weet!
