Default Wide Glide +4 extensions
Thinking about doing +4 extensions on a 2011 wide glide, if I do it I would probably go to a 23" front wheel with no fender as well.

Is a kit like this all you need to do it? Thanks guys.

Look up stock tube lengths on both models, may be interchangeable if the tube dia. is the same.

Thanks. I found these, that are +4 on wide glide or +6 on others. So these should be right.

Those should work.

Be aware that instead of 4" over they may be more like 4-1/2" to 4-5/8" over compared to your year of WG tubes.

Yep, those will be 4" over (give or take) from your stock setup. Custom Cycle Engineering is another source, that's where I got mine.

Thanks. Your bike looks great. Beside the fork tubes and a seal kit, is there any other parts needed to do it? I read something about putting some 4" spacers somewhere.

If I remember right the fork tubes came with the necessary spacers. I think they're just PVC pipe.

Bumping this thread up for a related question.

If I get the extended tubes for the wide glide. Should I get a lowering kit for the front at the same time? Or leave the stock springs?

Thanks guys
