Default New Wide Glide it Aint
No offense to those who bought one or like it. My gripe with it is that it is not a WG anymore. It lost that traditional 70s look that it was originally designed to look like. They should have just came out with a different name for it because it AINT NO FXDWG.

That was my initial reaction as well. It's a cool bike but shouldn't be called a WG. It's really more of a StreetBob with a WG front end.

IN ESSENCE... THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT BETWEEN A WIDE GLIDE AND REGULAR DYNA IS THE WIDE GLIDE FRONT END... THUS WIDE GLIDE!

Jees, the Dynas are all pretty much alike anyhow, the biggest difference being how many brake discs they have in front and where chrome, mat, wrinkle, gloss assorted nonfunctional pieces/covers are.

It only took H-D two yrs to do what I did back in '07. Turned a StreetBob into a blacked out WG.
