Default new front end
can anyone tell me what it would take to mount a fatboy front end onto a fxdl? Anything major? I know the fork lock won't work. I think both bikes have frames with 32 degree rakes and 0 rake trees.

i saw a fxdl on ebay with a stock fatboy front end and it was sweet.

Simple changeover, for the front end. Is there anything on your bars that'll be a problem?

TC's got a link in the DIY section on mounting an FL front to the FX chassis. https://www.hdforums.com/m_229406/tm.htm

Nice project by the way.

Some of the sweetest looking HD's are still the old 4 speed FL's. The Dyna conversions are right in there when converted. So much FL twin shock history wasted.

I remember taking a look at that site a few months ago. I seem to remember he had to modify the frame a bit due to the fork stops being to narrow for the FL front end. If I remember right he just grond down the stops and painted black. Just want to make sure you know your before/after stop to stop arc.
