Default Front end options?

I am rebuilding a 2000 Deuce that had front end damage. I've been looking at all my options and I could use some help. I have a 19" Rocker front wheel that I would like to use but I am trying to figure out what front end I need to get (on a budget) to make it work. I have found several Nightrain fronts on ebay for decent prices but I don't know if that will work.. any insight will be helpful, thanks.

Yea I've been really torn on putting a Springer on it. I love the look. You just might have talked me into it. Haha!

Springer? Thought you said funds were limited! There are a few Wide Glide front ends on EBay right now. Might want to take a look just to get it rideable.

HAHA Yea that is why I haven't went the springer route, the only one I can afford right now would be a DNA springer. soo.... looks like i'm getting a wide glide. Any one know if there are any issues with running the 19" Rocker rim on the wide glide forks/axle?

I would like to see an FL front on a Deuce. I like the inverted look with the fender covers on top. I like the bullet headlight look though so I don't know how that would work. Still like to see it though.
