And the headlight.. could I reuse the stock headlight? I would imagine I would just need to get a different mounting bracket, correct? Anything that I can save money on, I will try. I'm hoping to sell the stock front end once I get everything together to off set the cost of the springer a bit.

I'll keep you guys updated. Thanks for the pics by the way..

caliper yes.. depending on the year the springer is fashioned after you will need to get a different rotor due to different diameters between certain eras..
also remember new handlebars and risers the distance between the risers is different on a springer... you may be able to use headlight with just a mounting for a springer.

also unless you are 100% certain you will ride without a fender make sure the front allows for fender installation.

Kansas: I didn't see a price on those front ends.. what am I looking at if I go with DNA? Demons cycles might be the cheapest alternative, but if there's anything better, please let me know. Thanks man!
