Default Deuce front end on Dyna?

Anyone running a Deuce front end on a Dyna? If so, how do you like it? I'd like to see pictures too. I'm getting ready to do some frame mods and stuff on my '12 Wide Glide, and I'm thinking about trying to trade my frontend for a Deuce front end. I know I'll need to do some mods for the fork stops. That won't be a problem, I'm doing a lot of changes to the frame anyway.

I have seen it done it just looks like an aftermarket front end.

The main reason I'm thinking of using the deuce front end, is because I'm going to need extended tubes. I can only get 8" over for my 49mm front end due to thinner tube wall than 41mm tubes and I'll need longer than 8" over. I think the deuce front end looks a lot better than the plain FXST front end.

If it helps, here is a set of 41mm that looks to be about 12 inch over stock. I have bought forks from here before and been satisfied. http://www.bkrider.com/bkrider/skuse...eria=C01150079

Thanks, but I want to get the complete front end first, then do my frame mods and measure for the tubes I'll need. Just guessing from previous frame jobs, I'm thinking I'll need 12" to 14" over but I want to measure to make sure.
