fat front tire for Dyna
Howdy all. sort of new here, just been reading and looking and soaking up the good info. My big question is can I put wider front forks and wider tire on a 2002 dyna lowrider? Have Seen lots of custom applications and a few wide-glide front ends with a wider front tire. I like the fat front end look and want to do some mild customizing. thanks for all your input.

I bought a wide glide front end for my bike, and will be installing it soon,, not too hard to do, it's actually a softail front end but will bolt right up.See attached pics of front end i will be installing, i would suggest a 2000 and up front end that way your brake caliper can be reused.If you do use a softail front end , there is one little mod you will need to do, and it;s to cut off the wings as i call them on the lower tree, these act like stoppers on the softail but are in the way for Dynas. You could go with wideglide conversions but you will still have the 39mm fork tubes and not the fatter 41mm.

Hey guys thanks for the input. Robtarra, unfortunately I could not open the pictures. I've got a line on a wide glide front-end and just wanted to make sure it could be done. When you say softail, I'm assuming you mean standard wide glide, not heritage style front forks?

To answer your question, Yes and Yes, it can be done..I have an 03 FXD..and have done it to mine..If you use a Wide Glide front end FXDWG it will be a direct bolt on..If you need help with part #s let me know.. Several of us on here have done this swap and I have received alot of help here.. Great folks..Currently I am running a 21x2.15.. but plan on swapping up to a 21x3 on the front..I have already done the research on this and it can be done..
My scoot before Attachment 162062 Attachment 162063 & after Attachment 162064 Attachment 162065 Attachment 162066 Good luck man.. I hope this helps |
