Default Axle?
Ive got a 2012 Street Bob, and want to put on a set of wide glide trees. My question is this: Being that I'm gonna use the stock tubes (49mm), hub with the 25mm axle/spacers, is there any reason that I would need a different (wide glide) axle? Will my stock axle still work (be long enough) with the wider tubes?
Thanks, Jeff

Your current axle will be too short.

Thanks, Jeff

You will need a wide glide axle... cmon man. You are widening the gap. Axle and spacers.

She just said it to all her friends. I didn't find out until after she divorced me. Now I get no love. #micropeniswoes

I think when it's big, "woes" is spelled "Whoas" and it's worked in there somewhere

yes of course you will need a longer axle... also a spacer for the brake rotor and maybe spacers for the fender if using your street bob one...
