RE: Low Rider front end...
Can anyone tell me if the fork lock/fork stops are the same on my '05 Low Rider as an '05 Wide Glide? I'm sure you know where I'm going with this....

Link. I had the same concern when I did my conversion and figured if they were not identical I could either trim the stop or J.B.Weld some shims on them and elongate the hole for the lock.

RE: Low Rider front end...
I have an 04 lowrider, I installed a 2000 softtail standard front end on. It was a bolt on operation as far as the neck goes. I reshaped the fender tabs to fit the wider front end and only chipped the paint in a couple of places. You will have to change the front wheel or wheel bearings also. I had to replace the axle because the stock wide axle was undercut in the center where the bearings would ride. I got a kit from precision engineering that included the axle, axle spacers, and rotor spacer. As far as the 06? I would think the neck and trees would be the same. The lower end, brakes, fender, etc.? By the way total cost around $1100 and that is myself doing the work. Would I do it again? Yes, however I think I would get a conversion kit instead.
