I swapped my Mid Glide trees out with Fat Bob trees on my 2010 Street Bob, no added mods needed to add trees. I used the stock light, 49mm legs, 25mm axle spacers and caliper off the Street Bob. I swapped out the front wheel to a 21" using a Wide Glide hub. Doing this allowed me to use the stock axle spacers off the Street Bob (same part numbers on both the Wide Glide and Street Bob, the hub makes up the difference between the legs widths). The Wide Glide trees do have an added rake built in to them and the Fat Bob trees have the same rake as the rest of the Dyna line up.
To give you an idea of how much wider the Fat Bob/Wide Glide trees are compared to the Mid Glide trees, here is a pic of the trees together, the other ends (not in pic) are lined up with each other.
Here is a pic of the front trees assembled. The Mid Glide trees/legs would just barely show any space, if any, between them and the ring around the light.
PM me if your interested and I will send pics for your viewing. I have the Street Bob trees (two tops, either the built-in riser w/1" Loner Industries riser or the tree with holes to add your own riser, all would need either to be chromed or powder coated), front stock wheel with a new (just at 1000 miles, put it on last December 2013 and swapped out frontend last March 2014) Metzerler 880 tire, stock rotor, bearing and the 25mm axle and along with the stock front fender (Vivid Black) all sitting on my shelf looking for a new home. Also have the chopped rear fender (also in Vivid Black), just throwing it out there. Only added parts you would need in the complete 49mm fork legs, brake caliper w/pads, axle spacers for wheel fitment. and for the trees you would need the bearings/race if swapping them out, neck bolt hardware and pinch bolts for tree/legs.
