Putting a Fatboy front end on a Night Train?
Ok guru's. Ive seen it done (in pics) but not in person. I ran across a hot deal on a complete front end off a fatboy (unsure of the year) Can I bolt it right on my 2006 Night Train without any fitment issues? What about my 21" front tire, brakes, rotors? Can I use all my wheel and tire components on the fatboy front end, take off and go with no issues? Any spacing issues im going to have. I don't want to change my current wheel setup. I would just like to know if I can swap my front end to get that beefy look to my bike. what are some things I need to watch for (if anything) For the price of this whole front end, Im not letting it go. Im buying to resell if its going to be a hassle to bolt up and ride on my night train. thanks in advance

Since you don't know year of the fat boy it came off of I would check the axel size and measure the width of the inside to inside of the forks and compare it to the wide glide front end. I would assume that the stem is the same size but you might want to check that also. I have no idea about fatboy front ends but I would check those. I the axel is different in size you can get new bearings for your wheel and cut new spacers. Also caliper mounts, see if there are 2 diff part numbers for calipers and research axel sizes/stem sizes.

if the fatboy front end is 2006 or lower it shouldn't be a problem, if it's a 2000 up to 2006/7 when ever they did the update it would be even better. that skinny 21 will need new spacers an I'm not sure how the rotor would line up for the caliper. A 21x3 fat spoke with a 120 wide tire would look good on it.
