Dyna Springer Project
I'm looking into putting a springer front end on a 2007 Super Glide. My plan is to use a 23 inch front wheel, no fender.
I'm trying to decide between 2 over or 4 over on the springer. if anyone has pics of 2 over vs 4 over even on other models, that would be great.
Thanks guys.

Thanks.
Still trying to figure out the 2 over vs 4 over. Which will look better with the big wheel.
I'm kinda thinking 2 over will give it a little longer look without looking out of place.

Don't have any experience with a springer, but I've ran both 2 over and 4 over front ends on previous versions of my bike. The 2 over wasn't much different from stock as far as handling, but the 4 over was definitely a bit twitchy at low speeds and parking lots. Perfectly fine once up to speed though.

Thanks guys. Will a 2 Over springer make the bike look like it sits up a lot higher in the front end, or will it just look more like 2 inches stretched out? I'm looking for as much of a long and low look as I can get.

How it rides is more important than how it looks.

Ride quality is not really a concern of mine, as far as if the suspension is a little rough riding.

After doing a bit more reading, I think a 2 over and a 23 inch wheel is going to set it up too high in the front. So, i could go with stock length. Or they make a 3 under, but I'm not sure if that would be too low for a 23 inch wheel to work?
I'm just trying to learn this stuff.

@" over plus a 23" tire will actually put it in the area of 4" over.. Stock is a 19".. Never seen a Dyna with a 23... They look great on a bigger Bagger but not so sure about a Dyna..
