Default Finished my Wide Glide Front end - PICS

Got the 49mm wide front end on. Also a 21" wheel, bullet headlight, Night Train drag bars with 6" risers, and 11" progressives.

All to compliment the Wide Glide Tank and bobtail fender conversions I did a few weeks ago.

She's almost complete for this winter. Got some V&H Big Radius coming on tuesday.

Still gotta do some wire management and wipe off the greasy fingerprints. It's time for a beer.

**Can you believe this is or used to be a Super Glide?**

I'm sorry what was below the avatar again? I was far too distracted to notice.






The bike looks sweet! Nice job!

I like it. You know that you will not be able to see past your shoulders with those mirrors? But I like the whole look. Especially the trim around the speedometer.

Looks nice. I went with NT bars and risers too this winter. I also used all the NT cables as well. The clutch, trrottle, idle and brake all fit great on my bob. Nice mods you have done.

nice job, I had a problem with mirrors to, so I got a set of paul yaffe grips with the mirror that mounts at the end of the grip. I like it alot better than having the mirrors on top of the bars.

What fun would that be?

The Super glide is paid for, had it since 2002, all I could afford at the time. Doing this mod was cheaper and more fun than just buying a wide glide. To me, it means more and I appreciate it more, and have more pride in knowing I did it all myself. It really feels like I've got a new bike for a fraction of the cost!

Plus, I have a wide glide without all the rake. I'm at 30*, so it handles really nice.

Regarding the mirrors, I don't really care. I wouldn't have them at all if it wern't for the leagal aspect. Got a ticket once for not hav'n em.
