FXST to Fatboy front end questions??
Looking for help on changing my fxst frontend to a fatboy front end. Ultimately I want the fatter look of a fatboy/heritage with a 23" wheel. What do I all need to change and/or what can reuse off my current front end. Im not concerned with the wheel aspect yet as I will run my current 21. I just wanna start with putting the fatboy front end on first. do I need to change the triple trees? do I need to change the forks? would the fatboy lowers fit on my current forks... ect. You guys know more then I so let me know please? also if you know anyone who is selling these items. thx
the different is triple trees, fork sliders, headlight, tin, fork tubes are 2 inch short than now no rake 0 degrees and cow bells the heritage and deluxe front end is the same minus the running lights
No problem all harley's necks are the same but sportsters change in years all are 1 inch necks all the same. You can do a direct swap with no problem if your bike has a lot of miles replace the neck bearings and races for insurance

Yes lots of good stuff here, thx to Shakey! I have found the fatboy lowers and fork tins I now need to find the fatboy triple trees and forks. Lets say I was going to use my fxst forks that I now know are 2" longer then a fatboy, how do you think that would look? the front end I think would stick up high wouldn't it?
