Default telescopic front end onto 2008 Softail CVO Springer ?

Telescopic front end onto a 2008 Springer , has anyone done this already ?

I know it will have been done before now , just looking for input and hints and tips from anyone who has done so.

I know I'll need triple trees / forks / front fender / front caliper / headlight etc.

Maybe wheel and disc also ( tho' I'd like to keep the stock 18 inch front wheel to match the rear if at all possible !)

My Springer front end for now at least is cactus , there appears to be no repairing of the stock Springer forks in Australia.

I have located a 2013 Softail Standard front end complete , new bike take off ( The guy had fitted a SPRINGER front end from new WTF ??)

Springer has a 3/4 axle , donor will have a 25mm no doubt , ways and hints to get round that ?

I'm assuming the same headstock bearing arrangement and an "easy" straight swap there.

Hopefully keeping the stock ( internally wired !) Springer handlebars. Are the stock Springer risers gunna work ?

Thanks in advance from Australia gents
