Try this web site.....http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/advchoppercalc.html
I have an 04 lowrider. stock neck rake is 32 degrees. Replaced front end with stock 3 degree WG and 3 degree cups. had to lower the rear by 1" to maintain level. I have been up to 115 with the windshield and solid as a rock. As a matter of fact the faster you go the more stable it becomes. However it is just a little heavy on the front at slow speed though.
The new dynas have a 29degree rake so keep that in mind as you go through the calculations.

I put a MID-GLIDE front end on mine, and I love it. I also put 4" risers on. But, I hated the bars and the way the speedo looked. I noticed you have the same problem. That speedo is obnoxious. So, I put 24" drag bars on, and tear drop mirrors. Now, the speedo blends in nice with the mirrors, and isn't nearly as obnoxious:
Here's what it was like before the drags:
This was a low cost alternative to getting a digital speedo and looks a LOT better.
ORIGINAL: DiabloBlanco Here are pics of my Accutronix wide glide front on my 05 Super I really like the look.

looks good!
now - what to do with those crappy stock bars?
only reason I comment on bars is that I have the same dilema.

A better alternative is the Accutronic guage mount ($100)with a 2005 style housing.
We did this to my brother's 2006 Superglide. You canadjust the speedo higher or lower.

Thanks for the pics. I do like the idea of being able to move the speedo down.
I think the housing style required is 2004, my 2005 housing looks the same as the 2006.
I like the idea of the risers and drag bars, I do not want to perch the speedo on top of the risers, but I'm also not fond of spending $200+ for the new housing and accutronix bracket.

I got the bracket on Ebay for $10 and the gauge mount was $100.
Handlebars and Risers were $35 each from www.KCInt.com for a total of $170 for the whole setup...not too bad.
