RE: Yet another question
Sweet, the narrow glide is 5 1/2 and the mid glide is 6 1/2 and the wide glide is 8, not alot of difference between the narrow and the mid so I think I'm going to go with the wide glide style triple tree conversion kit along with a new headlight and say goodbye to that ugly headlight hood!!
Thanks everybody for your help. Naz

RE: Yet another question
I was planning on a 21" wheel from a Wide Glide that I just bought off eBay, then I looked into it and realized it won't fit because they use a wider hub. I think the height is about the same because it has a lower profile tire. If I get the triple clamps from a Wide Glide and shim the fender that should work but the Wide Glide triple clamps rake out more then the Low Rider triple clamps, which might be a problem or it will just give me a nice lower Low Rider. What conversion kit are you going to use?
