Default Front end help

Will a 05FXDWG complete front end work on a 05FXDCI, Is the rake in the frame or trees?

I'm trying to decide if I should just get a front end or the conversion kit. I would like to go with a 21 inch wheel.

Thanks Donnie

I'm not sure about the frame, but I know that Wide Glide trees are raked.

So the frame is the same as mine? That correct?
It's the trees that are raked not the frame.

Thanks, Donnie

I'm not sure about the 2005's, but it might be the same as the 2006's

2006 Steering Head / Triple Clamp Angles

• FXDI/C/B/35 models: 29˚/29˚ (0˚ difference from head to fork)

steering head/fork angles

• FXDLI model: 29˚/30.5˚ (1.5˚ difference from head to fork)

steering head/fork angles

• FXDWGI models: 34˚/36˚ (2.0˚ difference from head to fork)

steering head/fork angles

Naz-man, I think you should check the stealer for the information you are looking for. The Lowrider and the Wideglide frames are the same, up to '05.
