Default Where to find complete front ends

Hey fellas, I've been a lurker on here for a while now but just recently bought my first HD, a 2005 FXSTI just 2 weeks ago. It only has 2000mi on it! Now I've always had my mind set on a gangster Deluxe build but for the price I got the FXSTI for I just couldn't pass it up. Other than the fenders and chrome pieces, I know I need to get an FL front end to give me the look I want. As far as I know from my research I can fit on a Deluxe, Fatboy, or Heritage front end on my frame with no issues. Been lookin in the classifieds here, eBay, and Craigslist and can't seem to find any. If I pieced it together and order from the dealership it would probably cost me around $2000. Now I'm wondering if I should have just saved a little more and just got a Deluxe in the first place. In any case can somebody point me in the right direction? Any specific sites I can go to for a complete front end?

I'm on my phone so I can't see location but u can look for a salvage bike. there's also a guy in North Dakota that sells a bunch of bikes that's gone down.

if u look at some eBay Harley's his are the ones that have damage and for cheap

he always includes parts to fix it back up in the sale
I think he's good about guaranteeing his stuff but I have never bought from him. When I get home I could search and try to find it.

I'll contact him and see if he has parts. Looks like he's only selling whole bikes. Pretty much just need the triple tree. Shocks, nacelle, tins, can be had for pretty cheap on eBay. But if I can find a deal for the whole front end I'm all for it.

Spent a good 2hrs last night going through the ads. Didn't find any FL front ends that were still available. I'll keep hunting

Hey OP, I'm in a similar situation. I've been over my springer front end for some time now. I haven't had much luck finding an FL front end either. The way some act around here I'll probably be banned when I do change to the FL style.
