Thumbs up Wideglide triple trees

Are 06 wideglide forks 49mm like the Streetbob ? If so I should be able to swap the triple trees on my streetbob to wideglide trees and run a 21" wideglide or softail front . Any help will be appreciated

Smile triple trees

I just looked it up , they are 49mm and I got some part#s on some trees to give me about 2 degrees more rake if anyone is interested . Make it alittle easier than relacing a wheel I think

Yes, see below

More info below.

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" chrome spacers and 3/4" longer then original 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.

It's a 1" axle, as noted above, parts list is for a 06 Dyna. Only difference I believe is the axle and spacers for 08 and up are 25mm.
