Default Softail platforms in a Dyna

Hello to all:

I'm writing from Spain, and I have a Dyna Super Glide 2008 year with front end modified Softail style.

I'm no new user, but I can't recovery my user. No matter. The question is:

Anyone knows if its possible install a Softail platform in a 08 Dyna?

Thank you very much.

Due to your English, I have no idea what you are asking.

What do you mean by soft tail platform? Chassis maybe? Post it in Spanish if you need to and I will translate.

Language term problems. What do you mean by "platform?" Do you mean an entire Fat Boy type front in with Softail triple trees? If so, yes, but it does take some grinding. There's a couple of current threads now discussing it. Here's my '07 Street Bob with Fat Boy front end.

Ackman has the newer style Softail boards and I have the early style fitted on mine. You need a bracket made to bolt to the frame. The running boards bolt to the bracket. There are several threads about running boards. Do a search.
I have pics in my FL-Dyna Project Album.
