Am I Missing Something???
If I go with Wide Glide front end on my Street Bob....am I only gaining 1 1/2 in. wider...3/4 on each side???...And am I giving up 49mil. to 39/41mil???
It is hard to see 3/4 in (for looks)....but it is easy to feel 8-10 mil.(for performance).....It's physics...put two skinny sticks far apart or put two fat sticks close together...what's stronger??....that's "sticks...not chicks"..
... I've been wrong before...just ask my Wife..

Here is a Super Glide, which has the same frame as your Street Bob, with a 49mm Wide Glide front end.
The 1.5" wider stance doesn't sound like much, but gives the appearance of being much wider than the mid-glide front end.

The wide glide looks excellent on the Super Glide.
