Khrome Werks for both, though I had C&C re-cover the pad to match my seat.

If you use the FXDWG/FXSTC forks in FXDWG trees, it will be a straight bolt on. Hardest part is cleaning up all the excess wiring hidden under the headlight brow. It's been done here a bunch of times & searching "FL Dyna" will turn up a dozen plus variations on the them.

Don't know the rake & trail numbers, but mine rides like a Cadillac, rolls over into a corner easy as pies & holds a line like it's on rails. Stable & smooth on short bursts past 100mph & low speed/parking lot manners are as good as stock.





I'm going to have to borrow your look there sir... I dig it!! big look without big bike!! and it looks like you can add the extras (bags,fairnig) if you choose..

I love these bags from Leatherworks. Not cheap, but totally worth it.

Hey Carl... The stem length? Are the heritage/road kings the same as the dynas? Or the other bikes?

If so thinking about looking for a complete front end..

Road Kings are FLTs & a totally different animal- the triple trees will not work on a Dyna. Stem length is the same between the Wide Glide & Heritage forks. The Heritage trees will need more work to fit the Dyna. There are a few write ups on that on the forum & in the FL-Dyna group. If yer wanting a complete front end, FXDWG or FXST is the way to go, IMO. The FXDWG will bolt on & the FXST will just need the minor massaging on the lower tree's "wings".

My handlebar wiring, along with the speedo, tach & idiot light wiring just fits through the hole in the upper triple tree & you'll have to un-pin the connector to do that. Since you'll need to trim a few inches off the harness to clean up that area, it's the perfect time to knock that out.
