The stock wide glide trees have 3 degrees in them so you will have 35 degrees overall and the best place would be ebay and you also need a rotor spacer, check out vulken engineering they have kits for conversions

trees and spacers is all you need for the most part, and a way to shim your brake caliper. unless u want the longer tubes also, i swapped my front end out to a wide glide just recently, not hard at all

I bought the Jireh conversion for my Low Rider. $329 total, plus a second rotor spacer for the other side, since I had Dual discs's up front. Everything included. To me the extra 2mm from 39 to 41 wasn't worth the extra money for tubes and sliders.
