I'm still looking for the right sportster so i haven't done it.
That said i'd recommend going this route http://www.paughco.com/2008-catalog/...-springers.pdf
Not the cheapest way to go but everyone i've talked to has been pleased with paughco ride.

I still want to do the same mod on my 2012 XLC, but with an offset big-twin springer repop, the one they used in 1946-1948.
I still don't know if the fork stem would fit into my frame neck, never got the right answer...

I've looked everywhere I can find online, and for a 2004 on Sporty, nobody makes an off the shelf answer for it that I can find. The fork lock and turning radius aren't compatible with springer front ends. You might be able to find someone to custom fabricate something, but you'd prolly be better off finding a used springer and buying that.
Later!

The first line of that ad reads, "will fit any bike - just not Sportys."
