springer front end queston

[48pan]

ANybody know if the front end from a 2001 springer will just bolt on a 1948 pan? 
Thanks

I believe it will.  HTT member Robin has put a new springer on his '67 shovel if I recall.  He can probably tell you if there are any hitches.  Try sending him a PM.  I don't know if he checks in here on a regular basis.

I tried Robin. No reply yet. Anyone else have info about the front ends?

i put a 95 springer on a 73 no problems

[jwbull]

yes they will, but they are two inches longer. The only diff. in springers are inline and offset. jw

the rake will be fine, use the tapered neck bearing cups from shovels

I am sure there is not a lot of issue making it fit, the 48 would not have the same style of neck lock as the modern one, so it will be a good idea to really look at the range of fork movement you get due to possibly different forkstops.
