Here is what you will end up with if you install a 82 series dash, hood side panels and grill on your 1782. It would require going to a solid steering column
and different hyd valves. This is a 1872 I built and used the cyclops rear fenders and fuel tank on. As Jon stated the frames will interchange so the 82 series sheet metal and dash tower will bolt on your frame. When I built mine I looked into installing the cyclops dash and tilt steering but just did not have enough room for the triple hyd valve set up I used so I went with the solid column. Some day I may revisit it.
