Thanks

Anything's possible with enough money.

It's a Softail. The FL front end will bolt right on.

I'm sure someone in here has one for sale or trade you out.. Most HD front ends will match up so fiitin on the neck wont be a problem... but here is what you need to consider is the spacing of your front wheel.. no biggie, you will need a different brake caliper to match with the new front end.. Axle size might be a problem also.. not sure on this one..
Good luck on the project.. keep us posted..

I would think that shouldn't be too much of a problem, should be able to sell the Springer front end easily I would think, especially to a Night Train rider.
