Inverted front end
#12
Send a PM to Joe and he can provide you with all the details on his swap. If you do a search under his name you will find the past posts on how his ride was done.
I have the same front end but I ordered the 0 rake and standard softail length for my 87 FXLR. The forks are about 1 3/4" longer than the stock forks but I am going to run a 16 inch wheel instead of the stock 21 so it should be okay, and make the bike sit more level than the old style bikes used to. I did have to cut the pivot bolt down 3/8" because the Softails used fork cups (7 3/8" measurement) and my bearings are mounted in the steering head so it was only 7".
I purchased the front end from Jerih(sp?) Cycles for 485.00 and free shipping. Beautiful front end, massive with really nice chrome and it uses stock HD internals. Good luck with your project.
