Just installed new front end
Relatively new to the site. I just installed a 2006 front end on my 2003 Superglide. Ever since the Dynas increased the forks to 49mm I have wanted to do so. Always thought the Sportster forks looked a little wimpy on the Dynas.
I found it on ebay for $450. Needed to get a new fender to fit this "mid-glide" front end, ebay again. Had the option of purshasing a new hub and re-lacing the wheel (1" vs. 3/4" axle) or buying a new wheel. The cost was about the same so I bought the new spoked wheel. The total cost in parts was around $1500 including a new head lamp. Makes the bike look great!
