A wide glide front end is hydraulic. A springer is a springer. Two different things. This is a FL Springer with the bigger frame and boards, etc.
I don't know if you can interchange Springer and Glide front ends. Have to get somebody with the know how. What you have is a FX Springer in your pic. It will not fit on a FL frame. I do know that.

I thought about doing the same thing to my Fatty. my independent mechanic was gonna order all the parts and do all the labor.
I guess if you want to do it yourself - pick up a catalog (like from Pauch) to see all the parts necessary. I'm sure you can get a springer frontend from HD, but that's gonna cost you double.

I have a perfect Springer front end off a 2000 Heritage Softail Springer with the 3 headlights and horn. Sell for $1200. Shipping would be a bitch though. It is HEAVY!
