The widglide offers more stability and a smother ride especially with the 16 " front tire.

 

It was all looks for me

 

thanks for all of those that chimed in, so most for looks, some think for handeling, the other because the can and they like it!!

 

Ok I know this is a terribly old thread, but I figured since it was about people swapping front ends on their dyna I would check it out....I'm trying to find a 39mm narrow glide front end, I've got cash or if someone wants a bigger front end I would trade the front end from a 2006 streetbob with wheel and tire....anybody got any leads?

They are all over eBay.

Ya I saw some of them, but they were all about 600-1000 bucks which seems pretty steep to me.

 

I agree that's insane. I paid $125 for the last one I picked up. The one before that was $200. Keep your eye on craigslist.

Ya that price is way more reasonable, I have never spent more than about 200 bucks in a used front end, I don't know why they are so much on eBay
