just curios..has anyone seen a FB with Springer front end?? Any pics?
kinda sounds cool.

 

Wouldn't that be just about the same as a springer classic?

 

FB is a softail. Springer is a softail. So if you put a springer frontend on a FB it is a Springer!

you'd get a Springer with the 200 rear tire. that's gotta look great!I'm talkingto the parts guy and the service manager at my local dealerabout putting an FX Springer front end on my Fatty.... the price is scary - I need to paythe note down a little more on it before I undertake the change. I was told HD dosn't sell an original Springer front end anymore - gonna have to to with an aftermarket.

 

That does sound pretty cool! I didn't realize that a FB has a 200 rear tire.I know that my wife has a 97 FB and I have a 98 Heritage Springer and those bikes are basically the same except for the front ends. I believe the rear tires are the same. When did they start with a 200 rear tire?

They started putting the 200 MM tires standard on the FatBoy in 2007 for the redesign.

 

My 2006 Springer (FXSTS) came factory with a 200 MM tire

squirrely

 

true..but that would be sick to run the Fatboy wheels with a springer front-end!

 

I hadn't thought of that! That would not look right at all!

Hey, Aviator! If you decide you want to go with this give me a shout. I have a COMPLETE 2004 genuine HD FXSTS front end wrapped up in a blanket in my garage. Bars, risers, bearings, triple trees, forks, fender and front wheel. Has about 14K miles on it. Perfectcondition. I'm sure we could work something out. I'd like to have the space back.
