Default Fatboy Springer

What would be the easiest course to put a chrome springer front end on my 2003 Fatboy. I would like to keep my fender and front wheel, possible?

I put a FatBoy wheel on my Factory Springer. Had a Dealer Tech and a Indy tell me it wouldn't work. Got over 20,000 miles since I put it on and it's been working just fine. Don't think the fender will work though.

So you had a softail springer to begin with?

Are you wanting to go with factory or aftermarket springer? Fairly easy with an aftermarket springer but you will have dirtbike fender clearance. To do it with a factory springer you would have to custom make a fender to work, pretty much have to cut the mounting bracket off a springer fender and weld it on the fatboy fender...good luck

I would prefer an HD chrome springer, but I am open to suggestions.
