Easy.....put on a raked springer.
Seems they don't exist, not for an '18 Road King at least.

With a Springer front you will lose any ABS option. Any Springer front from any manufacturer. HD have not had a Springer since 2009.
Supposed main reason is/was non ABS compatible. ( that and Springer front ends are waaaay more expensive than any Showa telefork setup !)
Problem is this is integral to your ECM. Very least is you will have a brake warning light in the dash and a recurring fault code forever.
I've been told I can run ABS on a DNA springer, my problem is in QLD if a safety feature is there before you start a mod, it has to be there when the mod is completed AKA must have ABS.
I'll bet you did ! How did you get around that one ? ABS all to do with pickups/senders on the hubs I do believe
To cut a looong story short , I bought a "new bike take-off" 2012 Softail Standard/Custom complete tele front end. Triple trees/forks/headlight/fender/21" wheel/caliper etc
I got the new rear fender as well , as he had a Limited Edition Factory Custom paint set put on the bike as the same time. One of those 40 odd grand Harleys you used to hear about !! Sadly he had sold the original black tank some time previously. I FILLED my ute from his garage on a NOS clearout session "inspired" by his missus haha...
In 2012 the dude had Frasers fit a new Springer front before delivery. Frasers had MEGA problems involving the ABS (amongst other glitches !) , told him they LOST money on the deal/conversion , and that all Frasers stores country wide were to NEVER take on the job again.
That was a genuine Chrome HD springer front end with 21" Springer specific wheel , Springer specific front fender and headlight AND Springer caliper.
Bike had the ABS light permanently on ! (Covered with electrical tape square apparently !)
The dude had to sign a waiver stating he had requested and paid for the conversion even after Frasers tried to "talk him out if it" ! I kid you not !
Geelong HD "dealer build" bike. Deffo aftermarket as no chrome "shockie". Interesting Re the ABS and it's continuance in use ?
I would like to know the definitive answer to that one
As posted earlier , the supposed main reason HD do not do a factory Springer any more is ABS will not work with a Springer front end.
That's from the US forums many moons ago ! Springer has been gone 9 years now from the HD lineup , folks forever asking why ??
I could see how a "kit" of some sorts would allow ABS to still work on a rear convert to trike setup.
Two of my older riding mates here in Perth WA have well built trikes on Ultra donor bikes , both ABS aged bikes , no dramas with them.
Plenty of room under a trike body for "additions" , not so much leeway on front ends
