Default street bob front end or wheel swap

Hi,
I am a bike mechanic,
but, I thought asking here may save research time.
I have a 2009 FXDB Street Bob
with the regular sporty size 19" front tire.

I much prefer the old school smaller- fatter fronts
like heritage or fat bob.

I assume the entire front end of a fat bob would bolt up, swapping the trees, brakes and all.

I know we got 1" axles and i think 22mm axles because I install new brgs all the time.

any thoughts, experiance or ideas on
best, most cost effective way to get that fat front?

I also wish to swap to cast wheels front n rear

thank you in advance!

duh monkey

Yeah you can put a whole front-end on, but there are other ways

Do want dual disc or are you OK with single?

single is fine with me due to saving weight
and although I rely on the front brake very much,
my racing years are well behind me!
dogcop727 has told me lots of good info,
he has done the swap.
trees, axle and fender and I'm good
his his info
I do appreciate all info

anyone wanting to put a street bob front end on their fat bob? lol
