Default Help ID mystery triple tree/forks please

I was gifted with this wide glid frontend. The previous owner says it came off of a "1976 Wide Glide." No other details were given.

I need to buy a wheel with a hub, rotor, and the correct brake caliper. I can't figure out what year/model these parts came from or if they are HD parts or Aftermarket.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know what it came off but judging from that bent steering post the bike was in an accident and if installed as-is the triple tree's going to bang into the tank. Careful!

Yeah. Those stops are getting replaced with a hidden style stop. The bike it came from wasn't in a wreck. It fell over.

The part that could help you didn't show in the pictures (the brake tabs). Triple trees are not oem and are aftermarket. The lowers look like hey are evo era Wideglide.

Are they 41mm tubes? Look like the legs are on the wrong sides.

Yes. They are 41mm and they are on the wrong sides.

I was most confused by the triple trees. The lowers I figured out earlier today. 91-99 FX. Thanks for confirming the trees are not OEM. That was the final puzzle piece.
