A switchback has a wideglide front end already. It's not a mid glide. Or are you referring to the style of front end that is on a Dyna wideglide? Or the one that's on a Softail before M8's

You're right, the Switchback has a Wide Glide front end. I was referring to the style, specifically the narrow, raked look found on Dyna Wide Glides and pre-M8 Softails, which your bike has.

Correct the switchy would have a WG
The traditional WG was the FL front end but without the covers that make up the headlight nacelle, it’s more pronounced on a narrow 21 inch wheel.

I believe if it's the raked angle you're looking to achieve it's not just the longer forks
it's also a different neck angle.
