    Hi Chris,
    When I had my 81 FXEF I decided to change over to a Wide Glide front end.
    I did however, keep the 19 inch front wheel. This caused a small problem in the looks dept,
    the fender was up too high and it looked like a trail bike.
    Modified the original fender, made some s/steel sides and replaced the rivets with s/s dome
    bolts with locknuts on the inside. Just check for clearance with the tyre and they should do the trick.
    regards,
    Cris
