yep, i think that would look damn good. The front end (forks and trees) went for just shy of $500 and I think he charged $95 shipping.

Post pics here or send me some pics when you make some progress. What kind of springer are you putting on ? HD or paughco or ....


thanks

Hi DynaDogg,

Just saw your message you wrote almost a year ago... How did the conversion of the 49mm forks to pre 2006 dyna's turn out?
I'm having the idea to do this as well on my 91 Dyna, so I'm quite curious and I'd love to hear and to see more about this mod. Do you have any pics too?
Thanks a lot!

yeah me too.

and imo. i'd rather have the 03-05 low rider. they were lower and lighter.well only by about 10-15lbs.but hey! lighter is lighter.the seat height on the new ones is too much for me.not to mention all the emmiss stuff.
but hey to each his own. whatever u like. but i LOVE my anniv l/r and i'll never get rid of her,but i too want the 49 mm frontend.do they have it out for us yet?

C'mon now, you're gonna bash the 49mm forks? What's next, the six speed has too many gears?

Forks and trees cost around 800usd. In the states you can get a good discount on harley parts, at least 20%... that means around 650usd...

I would buy them new!!

ciao...
