Question

2008 Night train front end conversion??

Can I replace my current 2008 Softail Night Train front end with a Softail Breakout front end? Can I keep the forks or do I need the whole front end assembly?

You will need the breakout triple trees, forks, axle and front fende due to going from 41mm forks to 49mm forks.
Axle spacers will have to be worked out if you intend to use your current wheel.
This will also change the rake of your bike.

To get the brake caliper to line up the spacing can be quite challenging.
