So as far as mechanical stuff, engine/ trans/ primary should be the same... any front brake parts, obviously wouldn't be from a Springer, and the lights (headlight/ tail light/ turn signals) look to have been changed....

Hopefully, the prior owner who changed the bike over, focused on appearance mods... Once you get a bike with that much customization, you never really know what you could be dealing with....

From the picture of it, at least he didn't decide to throw a shovel head in that frame...

Good luck with the rehab... get it back into the wind...!

If you are interested in keeping it. A search for a Springer front end would make it a real prize.
It would almost for sure not make sense money wise but most of what we do with bike does not.
A flipper passing the bike off would hope that anyone interested in it would not know it had a springer .

Every once in awhile, a Springer frt end will pop on ebay. Big $$$$. But yeah, Springer's hold their value.

A Heritage Springer (say 00-03) will go for 2-3K more (Same cond, mi. etc) than mine would.
