Default What front end can I replace my 2003 wide glides front end?
I have a 2003 wide glide and I’ve grown to hate how wide the front end is. I’d much rather have a sportster/street bob style front end. Any easy bolt overs?

Straight bolt on....Easy, as long as you have the correct wheel, fender and related hardware for it.
I replaced my Wide Glide front end a few years ago....Best thing I ever did.

Default Lots
Lots will bolt in the 39mm world but check your axel if it's 3/4 or one inch then you know what you will need to do for your wheel and spacers fxdwg you might have issue with the wheel not working

Here we go, another wide glide going to get neutered! Honda makes a nice bike with skinny little manageable forks.

I've considered doing the same thing. I really like the WG with 49mm forks, not so much with the 39mm forks. In the end I purchased a 2015 FXDL and enjoy both of them.

Options are nearly limitless...

My 99 Wide Glide has a mixture of late model 49mm Dyna parts, touring bike hub/axle, metric headlight, and other custom stuff.

Figure out what you like and make it happen.
