Thanks buddy! Since I added the air fork in the caps it's smooth as silk. I don't know enough about parts interchange to say what would be involved with the assembly you linked. If all worked I would say it would be a nice set-up.

Hey Rick, what size is your front tire, 130 or 150? Also How did you get that front fender to fit a wide tire.
I have been think of getting a another iron rear wheel and throwing it in the front.
What exactly does the air do in the front fork, will the additional pressure cause the fork seals to leak. ?
Sorry for all the question, I'm still going back and forth about selling my iron to get a used forth eight. Or upgrading I honestly don't know what would come out cheaper.

Is the handling any different with the 150mm up front, compared to the 130mm. I just would hate to go down, I love to lean.
Would you swap, the bearing off the old wheel to the new 25mm or just order the axle kit from vulcan to fit the older wheel.
Would you just suggested Drilling and tapping the caps with the air valves of the forks to prevent the front end from bottoming out, or is there a better way?
Also with the Valcon Wide glide, can you drill and tap the top tree to mount the factory head light or does it have to be replace completely?
