RE: front end change out
Haven't heard of anybody doing something like this. I know the barge frame neck/inverted trees are s'posed to allow both good straight line stability and easy low speed handling. With the frame level, what is the rake of the neck? If you know that figure, then measure the offset of the fatboy trees, and the overall length of the Fatboy front end. Make a drawing showing all the angles, lengths, etc. Go to one of these sites and you should be able to find your trail.
