Excuse my ignorance please I am building an evo softail and basically I want it to end up looking like a mildly modded deluxe

My current dilemma is I can't find anywhere what type of front end( wide glide, mid glide or ??) it's supposed to have also the fork lengths have eluded me

Are the necks on evo and tc frames the same? Ie can I put a deluxe 'stock style' front end on it without trouble?

One more thing do the nacelles clamp on or are there mounting tabs for these?

Any input will be appreciated except for this who insist on reminding me there's a search tool I know it's there and I tried it wish I had already found the answer but I haven't hence why I started this thread

 

Wil you be using this thread to document the build also?

 

I would suggest a factory service manual for the bike and year you are looking to work on.

 

Believe it or not I have the manual and the specific info I'm looking for is not included thanks tho

 

No I will not I'm technologically inept haha that and this will take a long time to complete but I'll try to throw up a few pics here and there

 

You want a front end from an FL softail...I believe the lengths are all the same. You can use one from from a TC but the fork lock will not work. FL triple trees have tabs for nacelles.

 

Cool thanks for the info another piece of the puzzle down

 

One down lol
What are you lookin for next? And will the end result your lookin for is basic? Just curious

 

Very basic I'm looking forward to a heritage,nostalgia, or deluxe look with apes no windshield bags etc just a bare bones rider

I know just about which front end I need just don't know if I should chance the triple trees on j&p cycles to be quality. The product description is vague and I don't want it to crack or something while I'm riding I got the pivot set from them and that is made in Taiwan but it didn't say that in the product description....

 

A lot of the most experieced builders here like HHI for trees http://http://hawghalters.com/triple.../prod_624.html
