If you are after the classic FL springer look, I would say sell the FX and buy an FL springer

Pretty much from the neck back, you can make the FX look and ride like an FL.
Just depends on how much you want to spend for parts and labor.

The front forks are different.
The FL has a different rake and height. The fender has a completely different attachment system.
You can change the FX over to a FL style but parts are getting harder to come by.

If I were you I would ride it for awhile.
See what you like and don't like about it and make changes from there.

An FL Heritage Springer has the 16" front wheel with full fender. Factory bags, factory spotlights, factory classic horn.

An FX springer softail has non of that. It's a 21" front tire.

Your 03 you got handed to you is probably worth $10K. Post up some pictures

Converting one model in to another always is a pain. If its not what you want..... like exactly, put it on ebay, sell it and buy the one you want. I agree that the 10K number is correct and within a thousand or two of what the same FL Springer will cost you. So unless theres some family hand me down attachement, swap motorcycles, not parts.
