Default Springer front end on a fatboy lo?

I have been working on some ideas for the FBlo for a while now, but now want to go in a new direction. Has anyone put a springer front end on a fatboy? Pics would be great, opinions even better. Thanks, for any advice!

It would look a lot like a black-out springer classic from 05-07.

and not too different from my 02 barhopper.

Don't cheap out on a springer if you decide to get one.
