What are the exact differences in a Super Glide front end and a Wide Glide front end? Length difference? Rake difference? I have an 06 FXDCI and was wondering what a Wide Glide front end would do for me. Thanks.

The frame on the WG also has 39 deg rake vs 29 deg rake for all others. The tree and the uppers (fork pipe, bottom pipe and spring) are different. If you're going to go wide, update to the 49mm tubes. By the way, the WG is only an inch wider than the NG. You may sacrifice some handling with a longer fork and more rake, but it shouldn't be substantial and my guess is you aren't racing it? Good luck!

Not sure if this is typos or you just don't really know. The frame of the wide glide is not 39 degrees. It changed from 32 to 34 in 06 and has 2 degrees in the trees. There is more than an inch difference between the narrow and wide front ends.
