Don't know if there is a kit. I have seen a thread on one of the forums that swapped them out. Can't find it now..... Dammit

I'm in the process of doing mine right now. Mine's an 05 Custom with 39mm forks; Harley makes a conversion kit for it. Here's my thread about it, but I'm stalled right now waiting on a replacement bushing.

As soon as I get this damn bushing, I'll wrap up the install and finish my write-up.

What size forks does the Wide Glide have?

Went to the dealer last night was looking at the fat bob. The forks are 49mm with the dual disc set up. Exactly what I want... Now all I need is the $$$.... I would like to put the complete front end on my WG.

I did it on a St. Bob with V-rod forks:

With the wide glide, you may be able to use the right side leg from a fat bob. Might need a spacer for the rotor. IS the WG hub set up for dual discs? Start with an 08 parts manual and compare the part numbers.
