So WS6, you are saying that this is a hub issue and if I buy the Wide Glide Triple Trees and the wheel that is in the link on my first post, it will work with the rest of my front end?
Thanks

the only thing you change is the triple trees. you can use your sliders but will have to make slims for brake caliper, i just change to chrome sliders since i had it torn down, i just bought wdg slider so i didnt have to shim the caliper. i had the triples sent out and had them chromed also. but you use all the rest. jackyl

Here's what I used: 2006 Wide Glide parts; 21" wheel, upper and lower triple clamps, axle, axle spacers.
From a hardware store: 3/4" spacers and 3/4" longer stainless Allen head bolts for mounting the fender, and stainless washers for shimming (.040" for the caliper & .090" for the rotor) to center the caliper over the rotor.
Use other existing hardware from your bike (axle nut and washer, triple clamp pinch bolts, head bearings nuts and washer, fender nuts, forks, etc.).
I bought the parts from Zanotti's back in June of 06.
Here are the Harley Davidson part numbers and Zanotti prices:
P/N 46700-06 Upper Triple Clamp.....$ 65.75
P/N 46386-06 Lower Triple Clamp....$139.83
P/N 40923-06 Front Axle..................$ 28.39
P/N 40926-06 RH/FRT Spacer.............$ 4.58
P/N 40927-06 LH/FRT Spacer.............$ 4.58
Total..$243.13
Update: 4/3/08
Axle spacers above are also available in a chrome tapered version P/N 41410-06 Chrome Tapered Front Wheel Spacer Kit $23.51
Original Wide Glide tire replaced with only 7,300 miles on it (Not much tread left). Replaced it with a Avon Venom AM41 90/90-21, widest tire (3.70") I could find that will fit the Wide Glide Profile rim.

Thanks Jackyl! It really helps when you guys that have done this chime in and give your first hand advice.

Yes you ovly need the triple trees, reuse bearings bolts and al the other stuff. The wheel you showed on the e-bay link is the one I have.
DON´T forget a new wheel axle! (longer). My front wheel is a little ofset right now, but I will fix that with a spacer between the brake disk and hub.

This is the way I want to go. Ideally 80 spoke 21" wheel and WDG trees. Ill shuffle the wheel aroud if needed. Cant we any harder than the rear. Only question I run a custom lowered swing arm. What'll it do regarding rake angles. I had considered FatBob trees as I THINK the rake is 0degs as opposed to the WideGlides + 2degs. Someone correct me if Im wrong

I bought a 2010 wg rim from a member here. Now I am waiting on my parts from Chicago HD. I ordered the fat bob triple trees instead of the wide glide trees. The part #48609-09 is for the fat bob trees that are painted black. will try to post pics when I get the parts in.
