Default Front End Conversion (Streetbob to Fatbob)
Hey - I have a line on a set of stock fatbob sliders I was thinking of slapping on my streetbob. I like the black plus I was thinking I could convert to dual discs.....Can I go to a dual disc setup this way and stay with the mid-glide trees?....if not and I can get a hold of some fatbob trees; how much work would it be to go to the wideglide front? can I reuse my stock forktubes and 19" wheel? I'm not a fan of the fat front tire
