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 Wide Glide forks sit farther apart in the triple tree. Putting one on your bike would give you forks that are set farther apart. They are also a little longer because th Wide Glide has more rake from the factory.
jmpancoast-Looks Good! Are the stock WG trees 3 deg. rake, or did you order them that way? What did you do to chrome the lowers? Is that a 21" wheel? How did you have to modify the fender? Sorry about all the questions. That is the look I like. Just trying to figure out what I need to do. How much is the rear lowered?

These were aftermarket trees. I ordered them 3 degrees. As mentioned, stock WG trees have 2 degrees rake in them. The lowers are the Harley chrome sliders for the 06 and later WG. The wheel is a stock WG 21". I used my stock fender with 3/4" spacers on each side.
Search "WG" under my name. I have a thread with a lot of info.
Cool. Thanks! Any difference in handling? Good or bad. Looks like this is what I'm gonna do. Just order the 3 deg. trees, chrome sliders, 21" WG wheel/tire...and use stock fork tubes. Oh yeah. Fender spacers.
