Mid glide is the width of all the Dyna triple trees except the Wide Glide model from '06 and later. Wide glide is the width of the Wide Glide and Fat Bob model triple trees (Fat Bob has no rake). Narrow glide is the width of '05 and earlier Dyna triple trees except the Wide Glide and the width of Sportster triple trees. FX softails also had wide glide width trees (except i think the Rocker is also mid-glide).
