Default FL front end swap completed!!

I finally got the Dyna FatRider on the road. The FL front end swap is done, and I love it. Still waiting on a fender, and other random finited details, but she handles, and looks great!!

Not terribly. You gotta grind down some of the fl tree to act as fork stops, depending on what type of Dyna you have, you also have to grind down the front fork stop lug. New master cylinder to accomodate the single disc. Relocate indicator lights(mine are led's in the dash). Just sort of figure stuff out as you go. All in all I've got about 1000 dollars, and about 14 hours worth of labor give or take. I did get a killer deal on my front end. Complete assy. including wheel and tire for 500. I'm glad you like it. There's a handful of guys on this forum who have done the same mod in slightly different flavors. Search for Dyna FL group, and you'll find a bunch.

Great job! I'm glad I'm starting to see a trend...cause the big tire and front end are a great addition to the dyna!
