The very one. You're going to notice the brakes don't nearly as well as what you're currently running. My recommendation:

PM brakes front and rear

Finally going to start on the Springer front end swap this week. Going to re-paint the fender and add the 2 gray pinstripes to match the 2011 Softail Deluxe color scheme.

I have a 21" front wheel but not sure if it will look good...I'm thinking 18" front wheel might be the perfect size. I have 18's in the rear right now.

Any suggestions?

Here's a pic of the Springer installed on my 2011 Deluxe. The fender is getting a new paint and gray/silver pinstripes to match the 2011 Vivid Black color scheme.

Wow that looks awesome... Was it a direct bolt on? I thought about doing that to my 09 Luxe but wasn't sure if it would fit or not.
