Default night train fork swap?

I was wanting to go with a more "beefy" look to my 07 train. I have a 16" crossbones wheel/tire and will go wider later as funds allow. I was thinknig of going with a wider Dyna front end possibly. I am going to lower it no matter what I do. The back is already lowered 2". Any ideas? Tried the search and couldnt find much. Thanks!!

Fattened up the front of my '05 this past winter. Love it! 150 tire on a stock 16"x3" rear train wheel modified to fit the front end. It dropped the front end about an inch so I lowered the rear as well to bring the trail back to within spec.
