Okay, why can't I put a springer on my 2006 Electra Glide.

 

the fork configuration is different

on most bikes the attachment to the frame is at a point behind the forks--- on the H-D touring series, the attachment to the frame is IN FRONT of the forks ( the triple tree is backwards)

have a look with a flashlight along the frame neck and you'll see the geometry

the springer uses the same size neck, you could put one on, it'd look odd.

and- the springer is an interesting riding experience...not everyone likes it once given the choice ( in '49) by H-D to have hydralics on the front

Thanks for the info.
