This was my 87 fxr with 1980 flh front end. Looked good but slowed the quickness in the camyons the fxr/dyna is known for. Even with the 127' in there.

Where are you guys buying these front ends? Craigslist, eBay? What do you think a fair price would be for a complete fl front end to swap onto the dyna?

I found one front end minus a wheel. It's $1400 on eBay. Guess I have to look at a swap meet or something.
