front ends ...
What difference does the wide glide have? Is the frame neck raked more or is it just raked trees? arent all dyna's the same frame? Also do you know of anywhere I can find pics of an fl style front end on a dyna? on the new 2008 fat bob ... could that front rim and tire bolt right up? I would like to put a fat bob style tire on mine but want my front end out ther elike a wide glide.

RE: front ends ...
This is something I have been thinking about doing to my Superglide for a while now, I'd like to have the bike look like the old FL's with a big front tire and FL style fender.
I am curious to know if I can retrofit the Fat Bob front end on my '05 Superglide? I like the FL look without the bags and windsheild.

RE: front ends ...
i changed to wide glide trees.. but kept bob's stock lower legs[w/g trees have 2 degrees of rake]
went with the tall skinny front wheel[21" x 2.15]...but am in the process of changing out to a fat front wheel and tire...here's a shot or two

RE: front ends ...

Metal mike > Alefs Harley Davidson here in KS said that you cannot use the wide glide trees with the stock legs because it wouldn't work .. . guess he was full of shlt, huh? lol your bike looks pretty damn low, too .. what you got going on there?? any more pictures?
