Question Front End Swap

Has anybody successfully swapped the 48 front end with a narrow glide front end? Entertaining the thought...

the frames are all the same, so anything is possible...

It sounds like you have a 48 and want narrow? Funny, most people get the 48 for the fat tire...

I like my Nightster 19" spoke, but as with anything, its all about preference...

Yea I've got a 48 and I did like the fat front tire but I also want a larger wheel so instead of buying a rim and trying to find spacers and spending $$$$$ through trial and error on misc crap, figured I'd see if anyone has tried the narrow front end on a 48. Hopefully someone in SoCal will see this and want to trade
