A:I have not installed a narrow glide wheel with a brake on the front end to know the answer it will likely need a rotor spacer for it to line up with the caliper

A:We have not tried to install one of these on the new M8 platform. There may be clearance issues around the neck area. That was common on some other modern big twins. I would recommend consulting with a professional shop first to see if they would be willing to do an install like this.

A:I have tried those on a pre-04 evo sportster frame and it will fit the neck of the frame one of the things I noticed when trial fitting it was that the turning radius was affected for full lock one way by a weld seam on the frame . The other thing I noticed was that the springer would run into the stock gas tank on the one I tried it on so a custom tank or moving the stock tank back may be required .
I am not sure if your stock wheel is going to be compatible with the new springer .
You will need new risers and bars that will fit on a springer they need to be 4.75 for the clamping area preferably with knurling
The Mid USA springers will come with a 3/4 axle but you would need to make some wheel spacers and the stock brake is not going to work. That would need a bracket and caliper designed for a springer like thishttps://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/collections/motorcycle-brake-caliper-brackets/products/mid-usa-front-caliper-bracket-for-springer-models-chrome
If you are looking at the antique style springer be aware of how they are measuredAll of the Antique style springers are measured from the bottom of the lower tree to the axle centerFor the Wide style Gen 2 springers they are measured from the bottom bearing to the axle center .Please keep this in mind when choosing either the Antique style or the wide style Gen 2 when looking at under and over lengths .The stock length for the Antique is 20"Stock length for Gen 2 is 24"so as an example a plus 2 Antique would be 22"and a plus 2 Gen 2 would be 26"
For the length you want you could measure your current front fork and match that length to maintain the same ride height , if you want to keep your 19 front wheel custom spacers will be needed the brake bracket comes with some but they may need to be modified for your wheel .These springers can be installed on a multitude of Harley models depending on your skill level. If you are not sure if you can complete the installation it would be best to consult a professional motorcycle shop . They could also guide you in what will work well together.
