That's some pretty impressive styling you performed on that WG. I need to look around and see if I can just find a springer that will work with what I have now with no new modes - especially the tank. I remember when I put on a two" tank lift I had to file the rear tank brackets because the forks hit the tank right and left. Don't really want a new paint job just yet.

Great work Mopar!!!

The springers mounted on OE Harleys like softail springers curve in at the trees to allow more movement by the tank while keeping down tubes in line with the neck shaft. Paugcho springers also do this. There may be other makes, but a OE Harley or a Paughco springer would be good options that would allow a springer front end with out mod to fuel tank.
Your front fender won't work to my knowledge. Some have gotten there front rotor to work but the 300mm rotor didn't fit for my application. Also will need a brake caliper mount and possibly a new caliper and of course a brake hose. Also all springers when I researched them out were 3/4" axles. Not a big deal, you can swap the bearings and spacers of your wheels for 3/4".
