Switchback front end ?

Hi all , I've got the chance of a complete front end from a 2011 switchback triple trees n fork legs....... can anybody tell me if this would be a straight bolt up onto a 2007 superglide ?
TIA

Yup. It'll bolt right up.

But I don't think switchbacks were made until 2012. You sure about the date on the one you have access too?

I have an idea it could fit with proper spacers but can't answer your question for certain. I modified an FL softail front end to fit my bike and am using an FL softail front wheel on mine. I would have liked to use the Switchback front end on my Street bob but they're kind of pricey when you can find one.

Thanks for the compliment Phog. I'm wanting to do another FL style Dyna--but stripped down bobber style this time, kind of like my wifes sportster but with a modern street bob rear fender and a softail slim front fender. Love the FL fronts on dyna's. I've been collecting parts here and there. Just need a donor 07 or up dyna.
