I have always wondered about the 41mm front ends on the FLD. Just about everytime I am in a dealer talking about how the changes you guys have made on your rides and show pictures of them, we always end up talking about using the Switchback front end to do the conversion and they almost always call it a 49mm front end. So odd that some many different sales reps say this.......

When looking for the older FL front ends, which motor did the bikes from those years come with. I am looking at the Drag Specialties "Oldbook" and they class them by motor type. I know motor types, just not which years they rean them exactly.
Man, you guys had a talkative weekend......

I wish just swapping the trees would allow me to use the FLD nacelle. I'm going to start collecting pieces bit by bit to eventually go to switchback front end. It's my understanding the older nacelles with the older trees on 06 + cause the headlight to point down too much. I may repurpose the current front end I'm running to my wifes sportster to do a "fatster" style bobber. She has mags and so far wants to keep them so I may see about getting a rear 16" mag and adapting it to her front if and when I make these changes to her and my bike.

fitch, the old FL have a 28 degree rake and the 06 bikes have 29 rake, so no real issue with the rake and headlight, unless you go fxwdg and they have 32, this would put the headlight aim too high

Robtarra39-I didn't know that. So 60-84 front end? Then lower fork sliders would have to accept 1"-25mm axle right? The frame neck isn't to tall on my bike? Just grind fork stops on my frame and lower triple tree. I really like the nacelle on your bike. I thought I read somewhere in here that the nacelle front end wouldn't work on my year (2007).

The nacelle that is the problem child is the aftermarket Softail kit. It is designed for 32 degrees and when put on a 28 or 29 degree bike, it is apparently a little too much to overcome.
