It will not be a direct bolt on and ride. You will need to do some fabrication to the goose neck and springer to make it work. Sure it can be done though.www.paughco.com is the best bet for a springer on the 48. Still will need some fabrications to fit and lot's of money!

Led Sled Customs also makes a springer for the 04 and up rubber mount Sportsters. Not just any old springer will bolt on. It'll need to be offset so that they rear legs of the springer dont contact the frame downtube when you turn. If you're looking for bolt on expect to spend ~$2000 or so getting one that actually fits. Unless of course you have the fab skills to actually make one work yourself.
