Nacelle on a Softail.
Was thinking about putting an RK style headlight nacelle on my 93 Heritage Classic. Is this a straightforward pull one off and bolt the other directly in its place? Or am I setting myself for a $500 odyssey with all kinds of aftermarket kits and fabricating nightmares? Anybody here actually done it?

Don't think it would be a direct swap ... I think the triple trees are different between the two bikes ... the Road King nacelle attaches to the triple trees ... but then again this wouldn't be the first time I was wrong

Probably axel as well.
It would be a lot easier to put some washers between the nacelle and trees IMO.

Then I found this thread saying that you can buy a later model road King nacell setup and put it on the earlier FL's..

Thanks for the info guys. The kits sure are nice but they sure aren't $450 nice! I think I'll just wait awhile and see if one might swim my way in the future.

Here's what I've been doing lately. I've listed a few items on ebay that I'm not using or will use. It's really built up the coffers to about $700 in my PayPal that I used to buy a wheel that I was never gonna spend "my" money on.
Just a thought!
