1984 FLHS Fork Sliders

I have a 1984 FLHS front end. I am wanting to change the wheels to a 3/4 axle. Would it be easier & cheaper to change the sliders or purchase a new front end? If so where would I find the sliders?

Does anyone have experiance with this?

Should be 3/4 inch

As I understand they changed to 1 inch axle in 1999. I think all the FLs are 3/4 inch through 1998 at least.
