So this came up in a thread earlier today and it got me thinking. What would it take to convert the front end of a 2011 Streetglide to a Roadking? Is it possible? Is it financially feasible?

Yes its possible.
Financially feasible depends on if your going to buy used parts and sell the take off parts and what you get for them. Are you going to do the labor yourself?
If you figure in resale value of the bike it would probably be better to trade in the Street Glide and buy a Road King.

Don't beat me too bad, but I have a question... Isn't the SG & the RK the same bike with just added stuff & junk on the SG.? What is the diff? Remember be gentle and educate! ;-)

tank thing gets kind of funky as the center fuel cap vs the side due to the speedo etc. Ultimately probably be better off finding someone who wants to go the from a rk to a sg and trade.
