Default Wide Glide-Street Bob Triple Tree Swap?

I was thinking about swapping my trees for some off a 49mm Street Bob. The idea is to have a little less rake but a little more than a Street Bob. Kind of a Wide Bob...Is this a straight swap? Would I need to change wheels? Any other issues anyone sees?

Why would you do that? You would be coverting from wide glide to mid glide and create way to much work to go backwards.

Go with Fat Bob trees (same exact rake as Street Bob but same width as your Wide Glide). Since you already have a Wide Glide, everything is straight swap, axle, spacers, etc.
