FLS front end on a FX frame

Hello there. I´m having a hard time trying to find information about my next project. I´m willing to instal the whole FLS front end on my FXl.

Is there any problems I should expect, or is it just bolt-on?

Also, I´ve heard the fatboy front legs are shorter than de FXSTC, and I want to use 16" front wheel. Is it possible that I end up with a nose down bike?

Anyone has done it before? Any suggestions?

Thanks

PM forum member, phrogflyer. He's done a similar change (FLSTN front end on FXSTB), and can probably clue you in on what to expect.

Not sure about the forks being longer, but the rake is different. I am doing the same on my 06 NT and it definately sits shorter. AFAIK, the fronts should be a direct bolt on. You may need to change the wheel spacers, but thats all that I can tell you.
