Has anyone here ever swapped front ends on their wide glide to a fat bob front end? Pros and Cons? Do you still use the wide glide longer forks or the fat bob shorter forks?

 

Don't know how relevant this is, but I did a sort of hybrid with a Wide Glide upper half and a Fat Bob lower half. Also did longer rear shocks, cartridges, and Lyndall Extreme brake pads at the same time. Front tire is a 150/80-17 on a lightweight rim.

The brakes and straight line tracking are a huge improvement but the steering is heavier. Ride isn't really a comparison since the springs and dampers are "custom".

 

I did the just the opposite of CG... I went with Fatbob upper (trees and fender) and wide glide lower (sliders and hub) and stayed with the midglide forks.

I do notice that my front suspension travel is shorter now, but I've not bottomed it out... and it handles great.
