Wide Glide Conversion Done
Hi all hope all is well with you and yours.. I finally got the wide glide conversion done on my 03 Superglide.. It went together pretty easy..and thanks to this website and the people on it.. along with the researching.. everything was direct bolt on.. The trees are HD winged skull 41mm.. 01 downtubes and sliders..03 wide glide 21" rim with a dunlopelite III 90/90/21.. I am planning on getting rid of the mickey mouse ears this winter..lol. I am putting on 01 tins and am going to run 12 high noon fatty z apes.. Here are some pics...sorry about the poor quality they are from my cell phone.. I will try to post better ones later.. Let me know what you think.. Thank you all..especially Joe, Rounder, SCLonghair.. etc..
Before... and after...

Thanks guys,
I really appreciate it.. there is 1.5.. deg in rake added due to the trees.. I am attempting to make the bike look really stout.. kind of like a fatbob with a twist.. I like the way it looks right now and plan on alot more changes...Probably a RWD front fender , long wrap.. custom rear with flush tailight and signals.. depends on $$$$....

Is what your saying about the ride.. because of the trees?.. Im hoping it wont.. part of the reason I went to the wide glide front end is looks but also for performance.. thats why I tried to keep the rake as close as possible to stock.. I love my twisties..lol. The narrow front end damn near bucked me a couple of times this past summer but I was pushing her pretty hard to.. The roads here in Michigan suck...

With the added rake you might notice a difference when you're going over 70mph, may notice a bit of a wobble, check out some earlier posts on it.

I ride a 2010 Wide Glide and don't notice any wobble at higher speeds but nine times out of ten I got my ole lady on the back with me. don't know if that helps you or not. Nice looking bike!
