I'm sure it's been covered but I couldn't find the answers I was looking for when I searched...I got a 2010 streetbob, and want to put a wide glide front end on with the 21" front tire. Any suggestions on years
That'll work, examples, suggestions etc basically looking for a lil more rake/stretched look with a lil thinner tire/ wheel. As long as it's safe and doesn't mess up the handling of the bike.

 

do wide glide trees and spacer kit, or fatbob trees if you do not want the rake. then go with the Jirah rim, laces to the stock front 19 hub and spokes. done and done

 

I do want the rake. Been looking on eBay and Craigslist and can find 1 for $500 or less without the wheel and tire. And specific year range I need to look for?

 

you need 49mm so you want 10' and up

 

I did the wide glide conversion on my 06 Super Glide several years ago. I purchased custom made 3 degree trees, used my OEM tubes, HD WG sliders, and bought a WG rim from the classifieds here. The custom made trees were a pain in the ***. Fork stem was too long and not enough of it was threaded. Fork lock did not line up. If I had to do it again, I would just get the 06 later OEM WG trees through HD which are 2 degrees or I would go Accutronix. Wouldn't go more than 3 degrees no matter whose trees I used. JMO

 

Joe, my esteemed colleague I respectfully disagree. 49mm tubes started in 06. I was running 07 WG trees on my bob when I did it years ago. For the OP, HD discontinued the earlier trees at some point to make way for the new design in which the pinch bolts where recessed in counterbores. Not sure if they ever went to integrated risers or not on the WG.

 

ah solid! i thought for some reason that the WG change did not happen till 2010. Ya buddy that is good to know!
