I have done a few of them. The 49 mm wideglide should be considered as well but there is not a lot of used ones for sale. If changing the forks are done for looks only than any style will do. If you wish a performance upgrade such as braking than look at a twin calliper mounting should be considered as well. Do your homework first without spending a dime.

For a 98 just make sure you get a front end from an evo that way brake calipers are the same
