Default Will it fit?
I am working on a 1976 Ironhead for a friend and it has a real garbage fron end. the triple trees are all jacked up and the lower legs are Chinese chrome parts. I saw this online and thought this might be a good answer for me. BUT.. I don't know if its the right one. Help??

It may be fitable but will probably not be a direct bolt-on. Compare the fork stem sizes and check out whatever conversion cups etc are available. It could be quite simple.

you can always have the stem machined down or make a new one to fit, any machine could do it and it shouldnt be too expensive

BilletWerx has the parts that you will need ...

You will need to derermine the fork stem sizes of what you have and of what you want, then ask them about what parts you need to do the conversion. It should be simple.
