Get the Harley kit, I have found some of the inexpensive chrome jobs on EBAY are junk, they look good at first but there is no copper under the nickle and it falls off.
When I did mine I just pulled the legs and took them to my local indy and had them change everything, only cost a few bucks extra.

I went with the HK kit for my '04 EG and my local dealer gave me a 20% discount to match Zanotti's price. The dealer also gave me a dollar-for-dollar credit on the chrome axle caps that are in the HD kit to apply to the HD fork slider end cover kit, p/n 46282-07:

Others have used flush mounted axles, etc. Your chooice.

You don't mention your year or model bike. The '04 and '05 fairing models have a cartridge in the left fork which is a pita to deal with; so I removed the lowers, took them to the dealer to swap the guts, then reinstalled the chrome lowers. I mention this because many will tell you the swap is not that difficult, but many are by posters who don't have the cartridge in the left fork.

Good luck with your project.

I was planning on doing the same to my 09 Road Glide, mentioned it to a fellow rider and he said shy the will just get sandblasted by road grime and then look like crap after a couple of years. I asked the question a couple of hours later to another brother and he said almost the same exact thing. Then I looked at my 125ci 95 Fatboy sitting there and said your right, never did the change and do not regret it. The $400 yyou will spend to do it all can go a long ways towards things that will improve the performance.
