JosephGarcia - you are correct in saying that the ref. picture has a bobber fender. However if you look at the Nightster (which I have)it's not that far from it. Not to mention throwing on a wide tire kit on the back of the Nightster. Things could get interesting! However I must also think, my wife is getting this bike in about a year and she might not like what I would like to do to this baby.

Out of curiosity, where can I find these frontends? Do you know the cost?

Based on the location of the image he posted I believe they're here: http://www.steelthundercc.com/frontend_springer.html

A grand is pretty reasonable for an upgrade like that. Are they a good company kenseals? Or I may look around for a real Harley front end. I'm kinda thinking I can't live another day without a springer on my Nightster!

Yea, not a bad price. I've never heard of them though, just found the link by looking at the source code of the original poster's image. So, I can't answer your question regarding the credibility of the company. I glanced over the page, looks like they've only got them for up to '04 sportsters, so I think you are out of luck with your 08. Though, Ledsled built a custom-frame nightster with a springer front-end. Here it is:


You can see more pics of that bike here: http://www.ledsledcustoms.com/bike.asp?id=66
