For some reason they look a bit narrow to be from a wide glide.

I was thinking that as well. My understanding is that the WG had 41mm tubes in 07 and only went to 49mm for 08. Not to say they were not off an 08 but they just don't look much diff than a standard dyna to me.

WG went to thicker tubes with the rest of the Dynas in 06.

At the bottom of the listing someone asked the center-to-center width of the trees:


Q:
could you tell me the distance center to center of the holes for the fork legs and the length of the shaft. Thanks Jenni[/align]

Answered on Jan-31-08 [/align]


A:[/align]

8-1/2" center to center for the forks and the shaft length is 8-3/4" Ted[/align]



Is that right? Shouldn't Wide Glide trees be about 10"?

I thought a WG was about 10" center to center, and about 12" from outside to outside - 8.5 does not seem correct.

Standard trees are 8.5". I just checked my FXD. Those are NOT wide glide trees.
