WideGlide Conversion?
I have decided to just go with a WideGlide conversion by chainging out my triples, wheel and spacers. Does anyone know if the wide version triple that these people sell are the same diminsions as a WideGlide?

If you are refering to the steering stem that should not be a problem since I have a press. But I might have to put it on hold, I have my eye on a chrome plated set from elsewhere for only $10.00 more.

I just talked to the guy that has it. He doesn't know what he has. He says it is a WideGlide replacement tree but he says it doesn't have any rake built into it. I told him that if I was not mistaken the stock WG tree has 2 degrees of rake. I have to check into it a little more.

I have the chance to pick up a brand new complete front wheel assembly for a WideGlide. 21" wheel, Metzler MH90 tire and rotor ready to bolt on. The only problem is is that it is for a 2005 model with a 3/4" axle. Does anyone know if I can change out the bearings and make this wheel work. Maybe have to bore out the hub?
