I am in the middle of doing pretty much the same thing right now with one possible issue. The FLST triple tree I put on my FXST(Deuce) did not line up correctly with the chrome front end covers until I torqued down the stem nut. Then the steering became very tight. My worry is that I am going to create a problem down the road. Any thoughts?

LooseMoose, I think your bike looks **** like it is now. It all fits together quite nicely.

My buddy decided to do the conversion. I passed. No sir... Mine is staying the way it is...

He's got quite a ways to go yet. Something about a little "tiff" in A-Stan that got in his way.

Hey, I'm still looking for a FLST front end (2000-2006) for my Night Train. I have found that the ones on Ebay usually have a ridiculous reserve, so Ebay hasn't really worked for me... Thought I'd try here..... PM me or email me @ hylton_enterprises@***.net.

You can take a look at this, I put it on my 2003 Deuce. The fender is a bit flimsy, so I got an original off of eBay.
