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:
Judging from the picture above. that isn't a nightster. The dead give away would be the solid engine mounts with the rear master cylinder location reigning in a close second. The front sprocket cover is also evidence due to the actual shape.
still a cool bike anyhow.

Well, it's a sportster on a hardtail frame... indeed much of the bike is custom. I assumed it was a nightster, though I reckon that is not evident. At any rate, it's a great example of a springer front end on sportster, albeit a highly customized sportster
i went to the website that had the springer front ends .it says they dont have springers for 04 or later sporsters because of the frame change!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Out of curiosity. I see there is no visible shocks on these springer frontends. Are they just really stiff or how do you stop the frontend from bouncing down the road?
Out of curiosity, where can I find these frontends? Do you know the cost?
you my friend can find them all over the place but us with a rubber mount don't have 1 available yet from my understanding. Unless you have the frame customized or changed or some kind of custom extensionI am looking into it as this has been my plan since I bought my Sportsters. I should have kept the 89' so I would be done with my Springer by now[:'(]
