Default Street glide /ultra to Road king front end

Just curious if anyone has converted a batwing bike to the road king front end?

how was the process?

Not sure how to do it but there are all sorts of wires and such under that fairing that would need to be relocated. Plus you would have to figure out how the gauges would need to be reworked. I doubt its a simple plug and play option and reprogramming may be required.

No idea what he is asking.

I read it as he wants a kit to convert an EG to RK that can be easily swapped back and forth between configurations
Not going to happen IMO

He could of course spend the time and money to convert to RK and then add a detachable Batwing.
Far easier to start with an RK
