Default Night Train - Spring Conversion

I've come across a HD FX springer front end. It includes the headlight, risers, caliper and disc, 21" wheel, and fender. Pretty much everything except the rubber for $1800 OBO.

Anyone seen a Night Train with the HD springer front end?

Will my current master cylinder be "plug and play" with the springer caliper?

Any other costs/expenses I should expect with that type of upgrade?

Would I be able to get the thing powdercoated? Estimated time on dissassembly/Reassembly?

Break it down for me and let me know about anything I've addressed here or anything I haven't thought of.

Talked to the guy this afternoon and the springer front end is off of a 96.

I found Country Bumpkin's Night Train in the photo section. Wasn't a very good pic, but got the basic idea. Looks good.

First off. I'm so jealous you bastard. It should work. Bearing are the same. I think you might need a diffrent brake line w/ diffrent banjos.
