RE: mid glide trees. triple trees. wtf?
I hope this will address your question.
 \\;
Dynas models, prior to 2006, had two different style front ends. \\; \\;The Wide Glide models had a wider front end meaning the tubes were further apart. \\; The other Dynas had a narrow glide front end, same as the Sportsters. \\; The tubes were much closer together.
 \\;
Starting in 2006, the Dyna line lost the narrow glide front end and went to the mid-glide on all models except the Wide Glide. \\; The mid glide front end tubes were further apart than the old narrow glides, but closer together than the wide glides.
 \\;
Each of the newer Dyna models were set up with different amounts of rake in their front end. \\; This rake is accomplished two ways\\; \\; either in the neck of the frame and/or in the triple trees, which hold the tubes.
 \\;
Super Glides, Street Bobs (mid glide front end) \\;- \\;29 degrees in the neck, 0 degrees in the trees = 29 degrees total rake
 \\;
Lower Rider (mid glide front end) - 29 degrees in the neck, 1.5 degrees in the trees = 30.5 degrees total rake
 \\;
Wide Glide - (wide glide front end) - 32 degrees in the neck, 2 degrees in the trees = 34 degrees total rake
 \\;
Fat Bob - (wide glide front end) - 29 degrees in the neck, 0 degrees in the trees = 29 degrees total rake

RE: mid glide trees. triple trees. wtf?
WS6 Formula PMed me and explained \\;the specs I posted on the Wide Glide rake were inaccurate. \\; Here are the correct specs:
 \\;
Wide Glide - (wide glide front end) - 34 degrees in the neck, 2 degrees in the trees = 36 degrees total rake
 \\;
Thanks for the correct info WS6 Formula. \\; \\; \\; [sm=thanx.gif]
