Even if it will bolt up, I would recommend against it. The FX front on your Night Train isn't designed for the wide Fatboy tire. I'm thinking it would not be the safest thing to do. Just my opinion though.

Because of the size difference of the front ends I don't think it will work.

A Fatnitetrainboy, what a concept, a Fatboy with a bobbed rear fender. It would be a new and distinctly different look that's for sure.
If you want to take it one, or maybe a few steps farther, I wonder if anyone would want to try something like that, then add the old Street Stalker body kit. The all blacked out running gear with ghost flames or skulls on black tins would make for a wicked looking bike.

Sorry, one of the ignorant ones here. If it were me, I'd talk to a really big time smart guy at Harley and make sure it works from a design standpoint. Shoot, you can bolt a bicycle tire to the front of your Night Train but that doesn't mean it will work.
