Default Possible?

Hey, I'm either buying a Wide Glide or Rocker C. But have always liked the Springer front, but want more rake. Is it Possible to put the Springer front on the Wide Glide or Rocker C? Thanks, Later-

Thanks Rick, if you have enough $ you can do anything, just hoping to save a few $ but look good. Man, I like the 105 edition color of the 08 Ultra, nice looking. Later-

You can get aftermarket springer front ends for well under $1,000 with brake. then its just a simple matter of an easy afternoon in the garage.

There are plent of sources, Pauchco makes nice one but they are at the high end of pricing. But then again they have been in the business for 40 plus years and their quality is great. DNA is another source, Or V Twin, You can look any of them up on the internet and find the location of their dealer closest to you.

Have you looked at the Crossbones? That bike is just plain fun to ride.
