Default nedd help changing 82 fxe front end to fl

I was wondering if anybody out there could steer me in the right direction in getting a hydraglide front end on my superglide.
heres the problems, i want to keep stock dual discs, and i want to put those 3 degree offset fork cups in the neck. stock fl lower legs only have one caliper mount and when i stretch it out,and going from 19" rim to 16" ill want longer slider tubes. So im prepared to do the change in pieces. Is there any flst front end that will work, or maybe somebody knows if fl slider covers will fit on fxwg forks, or just have a better idea period.

FXWD sliders will work with the dual discs. it you want to put the slider covers on, you will need to use FLH sliders apx. year 1988-89 for dual disc. FLH trees will be needed to use the covers.
