Depends on what you have now.. I went from a midglide to a wideglide and this is what I had to do..

1.. Change stock wheel bearing to fit axle.. Hopefully your is the same

2. Space out wheel or change out hubs or get hub adapter..

3. You might still need to space brake caliper and/or get a different one to fit the new front end..

Thats pretty much it... Not hard just time consuming...
