Need help
Need help on a front end.
dad has a rat bike all different parts year ect was bought this way.. its a 74 shovel hard tail frame
As it appears the front end is longer than stock.
It appears by measuring lengths my 86 fxrs front end would directly swap over. I'm seeing a few on ebay right now that label as a shovelhead but whe. Research the triple part number says 1000 cc iron. We these front ends fit what other information is needed or pictures to help identify and buy a new used front end for this beast stock length to avoid the +6 flop it had in low speed turns.
Thank you
in advance.

If the front end "flops" you need to be looking at neck bearings. My Shovel is a 6 over springer and there is no "flop". Need to look at stem size as well as type of front end unless you want to redo your front tire. 1000 cc iron would be an Ironhead Sportster. Since you have your front end, mock it up, only a few hours of work.
