there are plenty of aftermarket front ends also..I myself wanna add a little rake to my FATBOB, but there's nothing..A wide glide front end I know will work if it's more of a rake your looking for? Looks good to  or if you looking for a bulkier look...mmmm not sure? again, after market has lots of options..good luck

Yes it will fit. Both have 1" stems.... Not sure of the year cut-off for internal stops VS externals. Try to get a front as close to your own year as possible, or make sure you have the right stop set-up.

yup, easy to do...I even put a 41mm wideglide style aka 05 FX softail front end on a volkswagon trike....It's just tubes, shafts and bearings...with a little engineering anything can happen...
