My 1980 shovelhead has narrow glide front end with dual disc brakes. I want to upgrade to a Wide Glide front end and keep the dual brakes. Can any later model forks fit my bike. If so which models ?
I used circa 2000 HD Deuce Triple Trees and 41 MM forks. I bought a set of Wide Glide fork tubes and lowers. (80-83?) You already have the brakes and front wheel. You may need spacers...Should be an easy swap!
