I am looking for a little help I have a 76 fxe that we put a wide glide front end on with a 16" front tire the tubes are stock fl tubes about 20.75 " and it's way to low looks stupid and handles like crap I am looking to get longer tubes 22.75" or 24.74" the 24.75 will make it about .5" over the stock sporster front end did not know if anyone has been down this road before
thanks
Ron

 

I don't remember how long the tubes are. But I swapped in longer ones years ago.

is that a 19 or 21" front wheel ?

 

Depending on which wide glide front end you're running this should help with tube length.

I'm pretty sure the differences in tube lengths is to account for differences in rake.

 

Meant to say rake in the trees.

 

thank you this will help ( I think lol )

 

21 wheel.
adjustable wide glide trees too
