My project, you thoughts.
My project, you thoughts.
I have a few ideas of what I'd like to do with my '07 Wide Glide. I love it the way it is but...I'm thinking of swapping the rear fender to a Super Glide type wrap around fender, replacing the apes with drags, with 10" rise, and 12" pull back( or visa versa), a set of Performance machine contrast cut wheels. I'm thinking I want a 120/70 21 wheel up front. I think it adds a little stability in the turns with a slightly wider front tire. Def, go with the 180 tire out back. I originally thought of looking for a complete set of street bob tins and powder coating the fork lowers to match. Now, I don't know if I want to make another cookie cutter like bob. I might just keep the Blue that is on my bike and chrome the fork lowers, and throw on a set of Big radius 2 into2s and add some various bling as I go. What do y'all think ?
I don't want another "glide". I am just thinking that I like the Wide Glide front end, with the rake and 21" wheel. I like the length of the bike (being 6'3"), but I am thinking that I'd like to see something unique. There aren't hardly any Wide Glides with the standard Dyna rear fender, plus drag bars. I think the big radius pipes look best with the wrap around rear fender, the radius of the fender matches the radius of the pipes.

uh maybe you should have just bought a different glide, just my 02.
But those plans sound good to me. Just make sure you post pics along the way.

Sounds like you have a good plan.

Don't remember the screen name.
I bought his WG bars, risers, fender, etc
as new takeoffs.
This machine is in GreenVille PA.

Thanks for the pic. mud. I'd really like to see a few pics of this bike, I have been really looking for some on the net. I have been mulling the concept of it in my head for some time now. I think the St. Bob is a cool bike, but doesn't have enough rake for my liking, I don't like the silver engine on the Super Glide, The Low Rider is close but again....no rake. I love the Fat Bob, and if I were to buy a different Dyna, this would be the one. But if I were to get a different bike, It'll be a bagger.

I put Wide Glide trees and rear fender on my Street Bob with a 120/70 21 front and Carlini Lowdowns. With a tank lift on it it looks slick and kind of "pro street" I think it would only look better if it had more rake (ie Wide Glide) I think the look your going for could only be achieved with a Wide Glide. Leave it Blue, change the bars and front tire then go from there.
