Fork Question / Interchangeability
I've got a '93 Electra Glide and a buddy from work wants to trade me a set of his fork lowers off his '08 Street Glide for a extra top case that I've got.
He also mentioned something about a set of stock wheels from his bike too.
Will the fork lower swap over without any issues? I mentioned wanting to get a set of better calipers for my bike and that's what started the whole thing.
Isn't there a axle difference? Anything else I should know about??
Or would it just be easier to get the adapters & calipers and slap them on my stock fork lowers?

Yes there is an axel difference.
If you swap you will have to get something else to drive your speedo (if it is still driven off the front axel).
It would be a lot easier and have fewer problems to get new calipers.
