Has anybody installed FLHT touring forks on a Softail frame?
I need to get a fork assy and there seem to be a lot more FLHT forks
available at a better price, forks would be going on a 1988 FLST.
Would FLHT forks work? Advantages, disadvantages?
I'm not worried about headlight mounting or the ugly trees.  :bike:

The fork legs will bolt into any wide-glide or FLST trees. The touring trees themselves will not work on anything other than a touring frame. But dont take my word for it. Go to Ebay and look at touring trees and then look at FLST trees. The differences should be immediately apparent.
